Title:
“One Last Sunrise”

Full Song Lyrics:

Verse 1:
[G] Waking up to the [Em] same old sunrise,
[C] Dreaming of the day we [D] say our goodbyes.
[G] We’ve been stuck in this [Em] sleepy hometown,
[C] Eager to leave, to [D] find a new ground.

Chorus:
[G] One last sunrise, [Em] one last look,
[C] At the life we [D] are about to unhook.
[G] One last sunrise, [Em] before we depart,
[C] Leaving the place, [D] that’s close to our heart.

Verse 2:
[G] Packed our bags, [Em] ready to leave,
[C] The town where we [D] used to believe.
[G] Dreams bigger than the [Em] wide-open sky,
[C] Time to spread our [D] wings and fly.

Chorus:
[G] One last sunrise, [Em] before the dawn,
[C] A new beginning, [D] a new song.
[G] One last sunrise, [Em] a bittersweet goodbye,
[C] With hope in our hearts, [D] and dreams in our eyes.
