The Sunrise I Pray For

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Since I was nine years old I've been searching For a road that would carry me home Life threw every storm it was holding And I learned how to stand there alone Then you found me face down in the gravel And you helped me back up on my feet [Chorus] Your smile is the sunrise I pray for Your laugh is the sweetest sound I know You brought peace and a hope to my sadness Ashley Kay, you're my reason for living You're the faith that keeps lighting my way [Verse 2] I was lost in the work and the worry Just a man running hard toward nothing at all You were raising your babies with no one Still standing so strong and so tall Two hearts only wanting a purpose And we found it in each other's arms [Chorus] Your smile is the sunrise I pray for Your laugh is the sweetest sound I know You brought peace and a hope to my sadness Ashley Kay, you're my reason for living You're the faith that keeps lighting my way [Bridge] Lord, I don't know what I did to deserve her That kind and that beautiful, pure soul But I'll thank You each night on my knees, Lord For the love that has made me whole [Verse 3] Now the days that I dreaded are golden There's a joy where the empty used to be You gave me a purpose much greater Than the small little world that was me I'll keep loving you hard and with passion Till the last of the evening light fades [Chorus] Your smile is the sunrise I pray for Your laugh is the sweetest sound I know You brought peace and a hope to my sadness Ashley Kay, you're my reason for living You're the faith that keeps lighting my way [Outro] When you smile, all the storms just go quiet And I know I'm right where I'm meant to stay
