The firelight will warm you
Stars are awake all night
I believe they watch us
As ashes take their flight
This is what we came for
Tiny points of light
Embers sent to heaven
In a Carolina night.
Awake from dreaming sweetly
Take in a breath and sigh
This cannot last forever
The morning comes alive
This is what we came for
I will not deny
An outer banks sunrise
In a Carolina sky
I want to be with you
When the morning light is new
As the ashes fall and cinders play
And all the stars have gone away
It seems like life is waiting
I Hold a breath too long
It may be time to exhale
I hope I breathe a song
This is what we came for
A song a song
I hope it lifts your spirit
In this Carolina dawn
