Their story began in the fall of 2007, during their high school years, when they decided to form a band in Lisa’s garage to play at the local talent show. They won that competition, and their victory cemented their ambitions to pursue music full-time. They named themselves Visible Gift as a representation of their visible talent that they considered a gift that needed to be shared.

Title:

“Shimmering Dawn”

Full song lyrics:

(Verse 1)
G C
Wake up to a shimmering dawn,
D Em
The world is turning, the light is born.
G C
Through the window, you can see,
D Em
The world in all its mystery.

(Chorus)
G C
Shimmering Dawn, we’re holding on,
D Em
To promises made in the early morn
G C
Shimmering Dawn, the night is gone,
D Em
The new day is here, and we play on.

(Verse 2)
G C
In the mirror of the lake,
D Em
A reflection of our dreams at stake.
G C
In the whisper of the breeze,
D Em
We find a moment of quiet ease.

(Chorus)
G C
Shimmering Dawn, we’re moving on,
D Em
With hopes and dreams in our hearts drawn.
G C
Shimmering Dawn, the fight is won,
D Em
A new chapter of life has begun.
