A Thousand
Dawns
B-Nelly
A thousand days sober. A thousand reasons to keep going. This is the song that took two years to earn.
A Thousand Dawns
A thousand dawns, I'm still standing,
A thousand nights, I stayed clean.
No drink in my blood, just fire in my lungs,
And a prayer in my chest when the world gets mean.

Brutally Honest.
No Filter.
B-Nelly is an Eastern North Carolina artist who spent years living the kind of story most people only write about. Addiction. Betrayal. Grief. The slow, grinding work of rebuilding a life from the ground up.
"Brutally Honest Music" isn't a marketing slogan — it's a commitment. Every song is a true account. Every lyric is earned. No manufactured drama, no borrowed pain.
"A Thousand Dawns" is his debut single — written after a thousand days sober, dedicated to those who kept the faith when he couldn't, and to Greg, who never got to see the sunrise.
I don't need revenge, I don't need applause,
I don't need permission to keep these laws.
Lyrics
A thousand dawns, I'm still standing,
A thousand nights, I stayed clean.
No drink in my blood, just fire in my lungs,
And a prayer in my chest when the world gets mean.
Let 'em talk, let 'em doubt,
I'm a living comeback story.
A thousand dawns, I'm still standing,
God held my spine in the middle of the storm.
