Forge Your Dawn
A Tuneless Original Song
A Tuneless Original Song
There are songs that are in you on a good day. And then there are songs that you find in the dark, when the climb feels impossible, and you've gotta make your own light to the top. "Forge Your Dawn" is the second kind. It was written for the moment when giving up would be easier — and you choose not to. In Tuneless, that moment costs. But it also knows about the sunrise waiting on the other side.
Film Version Lyrics:
Have you stood before walls where no doors appear?
When the climb ahead fills your heart with fear?
When the world says stop but your soul says go?
And you’re lost in the dark with no light to show?
When the night feels endless and all hope is gone
Then here are some thoughts to carry you on:
You gotta leap when the river’s wide
Find your strength to make you fly
No one else holds the key to your sky
Your wings are waiting; give them a try
Climb those walls and the route becomes clear
Wisdom speaks when your heart can hear
Let your doubt make your vision grand
True courage listens before it stands
You gotta bravely walk through the darkest night
Find your path by your own true light
Sing your song when all hope is gone
Choose your courage, forge your dawn
You gotta look behind the door untried
Questions cost, but it’s on your side
No one’s praise can make you whole
Your compass shines within your soul
Face what shakes you to your core
That's where your truest strength is stored
Every wind gust asks what you hold near
Answer from the drum that beats right here
You gotta rise up high when the embers die
Build from ashes toward the sky
Sing your song when all hope is gone
Choose your courage, forge your dawn
Courage shines not “chosen” crowds
But lifts the low when they're down
Love makes courage bright and true
The dawn you forge will warm us too
You gotta plant your love where the concrete cracks
Build your hopes from the scrapyard’s scraps
Breathe on coals until they gleam
Even rusty hearts can learn to dream
Open the gate to your deepest fright
It guards the roads to brighter skies
Wake the wild from deep within you
Courage grows when your heart's in tune
You gotta climb up high where your wonder calls
Light your own fire where the shadows fall
Sing your song when all hope is gone
Choose your courage, forge your dawn
Forge your dawn
Dance Remix Lyrics:
Ever felt tuneless, like you’re out of key?
And you can't find the track of who you’re meant to be?
When the static’s loud and the signal’s weak?
And everyone's tellin' ya who you should be?
When your heart stops tickin' and the fire's gone?
Then here's a rhythm that's been in ya all along:
You gotta jump when the gap is wide
Find that electric pulse inside
Nobody else has got the keys to your sky
Your wings are waiting, give 'em a try
Break through the noise and the music gets clear
The frequency changes when you finally hear
Let the "what if?" make your vision open and grand
True courage listens before it stands
You gotta move right through the dark of night
Find your pathway by your own true light
Play your tune when all else feels wrong
Yeah, that's how you forge your dawn
Forge your dawn
You gotta step through the door untried
Questions burn, but they’re on your side
Don't chase the hype just to feel like you’re whole
There’s a sunrise shining deep in your soul
It's the kindness you share from your true core
That’s the energy you’re looking for
Every storm is asking what you hold near
Answer from the drum that beats right here
You gotta rise up high when the embers die
Build up from the ashes toward the sky
Keep on dancing when the night is long
Yeah, that's how you forge your dawn
Forge your dawn
See, real courage isn't found in a "chosen" VIP crowd
It’s a friend to the sidelined, the outsider, the down
Yeah love is the vibration, it's steady and it's true
The new dawn you forge is gonna warm them up too
Yeah, no auto-tune needed, the grit is the prize
True music's a melody no one can disguise
Cranking the dial 'til the static breaks
Even a muted heart's got a song to make
Keep playing your tune, yeah, open the door
That’s the shortcut to the dance floor you’re looking for
Wake the wild inside, let the rhythm move
Courage ain't a trophy, it's a steady groove
Lift up the chords for the ones down low
That’s the only way a real dawn can show
Let's go!
You gotta climb up high where your wonder calls
Be the fire where the shadow falls
Sing your song when all hope is gone
Yeah, that's how you forge your dawn
Forge your dawn
Forge your dawn
