Before The Day Breaks 

Before the day breaks 
I look and I see no one
Before the day breaks 
The air is sweet, pollution none

Before the day breaks 
I get up and I go for a run 
Before the day breaks
The dark is almost gone

Before the day breaks
I'm excited to see the sun 
Before the day breaks
I hope my storm is done

Before the day breaks 
I pray and think of the Son 
Before the day breaks 
I thank Him for what He has done .

Atop a Katipunan Avenue pedestrian overpass, just before sunrise
