Episode 1: Meet Liliana Brown | From Foster Care to Finding Freedom & Purpose

[Verse]
Dust in the air whispers are low
Darkness is heavy weights press below
Feet on the ashes of bridges burned
But ember sparks waiting to return

[Chorus]
Rise like the dawn breaking through night
Hearts full of fire souls take flight
Shadows will fall crumble to light
Rise like the dawn claim what's right

[Verse 2]
Roads that divide crack and they groan
Storms that would swallow the seeds we've sown
Yet here we stand broken but whole
Flesh full of scars steel in the soul

[Chorus]
Rise like the dawn breaking through night
Hearts full of fire souls take flight
Shadows will fall crumble to light
Rise like the dawn claim what's right

[Bridge]
Voices cry out in valleys unseen
Hands reach for hope in rivers unclean
But winds carry prayers to hills beyond
Mountains will sing rise to the song

[Chorus]
Rise like the dawn breaking through night
Hearts full of fire souls take flight
Shadows will fall crumble to light
Rise like the dawn claim what's right

Rise Like the Dawn
