The Last Sunrise

The morning comes with quiet footsteps
Across the fields I've known so long
The towers stand against the horizon
Yet somehow everything has changed

The roads I walked now lie behind me
The miles have faded into years
And every triumph, every failure
Has become a song I hear

The crown is lighter than it once was
The stars no longer seem so far
For all my life I chased the heavens
Not knowing I already carried their spark

At the last sunrise
I can finally see
The meaning was never waiting
At the edge of eternity

At the last sunrise
The answer becomes clear
The treasure was the journey
Not the distance from here

I searched the oceans for a secret
I searched the stars for hidden signs
I searched within a thousand voices
Trying to outrun the hands of time

But every answer led me onward
Every summit showed another height
Until I learned that endless searching
Can make us blind to what is right

And now the wind returns the echoes
Of a dream from long ago
The voice beyond the stars still whispers
The same words I used to know

At the last sunrise
I can finally see
The meaning was never waiting
At the edge of eternity

Not the gold
Not the throne
Not the glory of my name

Not the roads I conquered
Not the kingdoms that I claimed

But the hearts I learned to listen to
The scars I learned to understand
The light that stayed beside me
When I could no longer stand

At the last sunrise
No more roads remain to roam
For the truth I spent a lifetime seeking
Was the path that led me home

And when the final light was fading
No fear remained inside
For every star I chased was guiding
Me back to where the journey started

Back to where the journey started
