Growing Dawn



Seed has been planted
 Mantras have been chanted
 Growth will follow
 To fill what's hollow

Time is of essence
 Got to keep patience
 Greatness demands blood and sweat
 Don't give up on it just yet
When you are bleeding and scarred
 Don't have strength to go another yard
 Remember you want to become a star
 But don't forget who you really are

Step by step slowly, you'll cover a mile
 Tears shed now will create a long lasting smile
 When you face a defeat and destination is far
 Remember life is not a battle, rather it is a war

 The only right way is to keep going on
 Even when it is dark, don't wait for dawn
 ‘coz sometimes dawn doesn't come on its own
 It has to be planted, it has to be grown
