‎⁨يا اهل الهّوى خاطري طَايب…

من نجـد إلى بيـروت

[Verse 1]
It's been a long road since I wore those boots,
Nights I'd stay awake, the world felt so mute.
I used to stare out at the dark and wait,
Morning came heavy, loaded up with weight.
Wife by my side, your hand in mine,
Helped me hold on when I was losing time.
You made coffee, talked me through the dawn,
Said I'm right here, just keep holding on.

[Chorus]
The morning don't scare me no more,
I'm not so lost like I was before.

[Verse 2]
I kept it inside, tried not to cry,
You saw it all written clear in my eyes.
Therapy sessions on Tuesday nights,
Learning to let go, finding my fight.
You never turned away, you understood,
You wrapped me up in all the ways you could.
And every time I trembled, every time I swore,
I'll tell you now—

[Chorus]
The morning don't scare me no more,
I'm not so lost like I was before.

[Rap]
I used to see faces in the corners at dusk,
Woke up shaking, sweat breaking, trusting no one but us.
Phantom sounds in the silence, racing wild through my chest,
You held my shaking hands, told me just to rest.
Therapist said speak it, I'm shaking but I try,
Every word a mountain, asking who, what, and why.
Still holding your hand through the fear and the pain,
You say "look at the sunrise, there's peace after rain."

[Bridge]
It's slow sometimes, but I'm not keeping score,
Even on the hard days, I'm fighting for more.

[Chorus]
The morning don't scare me no more,
I'm not so lost like I was before.

[Chorus]
The morning don't scare me no more,
The morning don't scare me no more.

[Outro]
The morning don't scare me no more...
(The morning don't scare me no more)
