• I suddenly wake up to a thunderous sounding knocking on the door,
    My mind is a racing trying to catch up what could it be as I look to the stars,
    I’m dreaming its morning what is this all about,
    I see that the darkness is receding,
    And I’m spreading my wings, as I wake to the morning
    I lift up my head and call to the evenings receding moments,
    A shout before dawn
    Darkness is gone

    As I wake up to the morning I sing
    I pray that this day will be a new day
    And those changes will be made
    I hoped this would be the day
    When the darkness would end
    That war would end
    But something ominous floated in the sky
    (A shout before dawn)
    I thought it was gone but I was wrong
    (A shout before dawn)

    And then it came to me
    I saw what was in me
    A shadow was coming
    Back into me
    I prayed and I prayed that this would be a new day
    And, that changes would be made
    But now a shout before dawn
    A shout before dawn
    I see
    I was wrong

    So I took up my mic and called up my soul
    I’m on a mission
    You will not defeat
    I told you and told you
    This is a shout before dawn
    A dawn of defeat
    One last chance
    (A shout before dawn)
    So I stand here now
    I hope you’ll be listening
    Good morning America….
    Will you listen to me?
