Kai Lim - First Light

She woke up before the alarm for the first time in months. The body already knew. She made coffee for one without thinking about it. Caught herself only when the cup was in her hands. Not grief. Not relief. Just the particular quiet of a clean goodbye, and the first morning that belongs entirely to her. [Lyrics] I woke up before the alarm for the first time in months The kind of morning where the body already knows And I lay there in the quiet for a long time Just listening to the particular sound of letting go The light came through the curtain slowly The way it does in early spring at five And I thought how long it's been since I was this still How long since I just let myself survive I made the coffee for one without thinking about it Didn't catch myself until the cup was in my hands And then I just stood there at the kitchen window Thinking this is what it means to understand Not angry, not relieved in any dramatic way Just the particular quiet of a clean goodbye The kind that takes years to arrive at properly And opens something up inside you when you try First light, first morning of the rest of it First light, everything a little quieter than it was First light, I don't need to name it to feel it Just the kitchen and the coffee and the pause I've been in the long goodbye for longer than I knew And now the morning's mine and there's nothing left to do First light, first light I'm here There's a version of myself that would have fallen apart today And a version that would have called someone But I'm the version that made coffee and sat with the morning And that feels like the truest one First light, first morning of the rest of it First light, everything a little quieter than it was First light, I don't need to name it to feel it Just the kitchen and the coffee and the pause I've been in the long goodbye for longer than I knew And now the morning's mine and there's nothing left to do First light, first light I'm here First light I'm here Just here First light ⓒ 2026 Kai Lim.
