Daughter of the Morning Light

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Started young in a humble little home Mama's hands the only ones we'd known She never quit, she never let us fall Taught her babies how to stand up tall I learned to hustle 'fore I learned to rest Carried dreams inside my Sunday dress [Chorus] Born to shine, born to win this fight I'm the daughter of the morning light Faith in my heart, courage in my soul New beginnings making me whole I keep on rising, I keep on free Every blessing was made for me [Verse 2] Sold the salt, sold the water, sold it all Plates and pots, never let the basket fall Under sun, in the rain, I would walk Let them stare, let them whisper, let them talk First girl standing when the world got rough Mama's prayers were always strong enough [Chorus] Born to shine, born to win this fight I'm the daughter of the morning light Faith in my heart, courage in my soul New beginnings making me whole I keep on rising, I keep on free Every blessing was made for me [Bridge] Mercy, look how far your feet have come Mercy, every battle, you have won Chose the faith when doubt was at your door Turned the stones to steps and asked for more [Verse 3] This new age is calling out your name Glory chapters, never gonna be the same Light of the family, queen of your design Heaven's hand on everything you climb Happy birthday to the girl who never broke Mercy, baby, hear the words I spoke [Chorus] Born to shine, born to win this fight You're the daughter of the morning light Faith in your heart, courage in your soul New beginnings making you whole Keep on rising, keep on free Mercy, every blessing was made for thee [Outro] Shine on, shine on, beautiful soul Born to win and born to glow
