NO ONE OWNS THE MORNING. VERSION New.

Genre: International Mainstream Anthemic Pop-Rock / Piano Pop-Rock Tempo: 118 BPM Time Signature: 4/4 Key: D Major — provisional Vocal: Male lead — warm, expressive tenor with a slightly gritty, soulful edge Mood: Resilient, uplifting, heartfelt, powerful INTRO The windows turn from black to blue, The day belongs to me and you. VERSE 1 We counted coins beneath the table, While winter pressed against the glass. We made a meal from what was left, And saved a little for next week. The news kept changing every morning, The rent kept climbing year by year. But someone always left a light on, And somehow we were still here. PRE-CHORUS The night can leave its mark on us, But it can't tell us who we are. CHORUS No one owns the morning, No one keeps the sun. It rises over every rooftop, It belongs to everyone. No one owns tomorrow, No one gets to say Who gets another chance to rise When night gives way to day. VERSE 2 A baker lifts the shutters, A child draws circles in the dust. A woman drops her shopping bags, A stranger helps her pick them up. The world is still a hard place, The bills still wait beside the door. But someone sets another place And says, "There's room for one more." PRE-CHORUS The night can leave its mark on us, But it can't tell us who we are. CHORUS No one owns the morning, No one keeps the sun. It rises over every rooftop, It belongs to everyone. No one owns tomorrow, No one gets to say Who gets another chance to rise When night gives way to day. BRIDGE For every voice they chose to silence, For every dream they called too small, The dawn comes spilling through the windows, And shines the same on one and all. No one has to earn the light, No one should face the dark alone. We pass the flame from hand to hand Until the whole street feels like home. FINAL CHORUS No one owns the morning, No one keeps the sun. It rises over every rooftop, It belongs to everyone. No one owns tomorrow, No one gets to say Who gets another chance to rise When night gives way to day. OUTRO The windows turn from black to blue, The day belongs to me and you.
