Every morning is another chance to choose what stays with us and what we finally leave behind. “Born Again This Morning” is about discovering that a new beginning can be as simple as seeing yesterday differently in the morning light.
Performed by The Fifth Dawn, an original fictional InnerSelfcom Music group, the song blends a warm tropical sound with reggae, soul, and roots influences. Its message moves from regret and burdens carried too long toward forgiveness, release, and the freedom to begin again.
There is no thunder from the heavens and no miraculous transformation. The change comes quietly. The past can teach us something without controlling our future, and every sunrise gives us another opportunity to decide who we want to be.
The tropical rhythms and uplifting arrangement reinforce that message: life doesn't have to be perfect before we can change direction. Sometimes renewal begins with one decision: thank the past for what it taught us, let it go, and walk through the next doorway.
What would you choose to leave behind if tomorrow morning really were a new beginning?

Born Again This Morning
Verse 1
I woke up with the morning sun
Yesterday was said and done
All those roads I couldn't change
Look different in the light of day
Pre-Chorus
I don't need another life
I don't need another name
Just another chance to choose
What I carry, what I change
Chorus
I was born again this morning
When the sunlight touched my face
Left a little of my sorrow
Where the night had left its trace
I don't know where I'm going
But I know where I have been
Every morning is a doorway
I can walk through once again
Verse 2
I've held anger like a stone
Carried burdens not my own
I've asked yesterday to pay
For the choices that I made
Pre-Chorus
But the tide comes back to shore
And the dawn returns again
Maybe life has always whispered
You can choose where you begin
Chorus
I was born again this morning
When the sunlight touched my face
Left a little of my sorrow
Where the night had left its trace
I don't know where I'm going
But I know where I have been
Every morning is a doorway
I can walk through once again
Bridge
No thunder from the heavens
No miracle in the sky
Just a quiet little answer
When I finally asked myself why
If the past has taught me something
I can thank it, let it go
There's another sun arising
There's another road to know
Final Chorus
I was born again this morning
With the whole wide world awake
Not because my life was perfect
But because I chose to change
I don't know where I'm going
And I don't need to know when
Every morning is a doorway
And I'm walking through again
Outro
Morning comes
Morning comes
And I begin again
