Drummer Chris Burrow shares the inspiration behind “Daybreak,” from Runaway City’s June 22, 2010, debut release, Armored Heart:
“At the time we wrote this song, a friend of ours was wandering down the wrong path and struggling with making bad choices. The lyrics are a plea to him to wake up and come back to the place he needed to be. It’s a great metaphor for God’s guidance. Every time we mess up, God is that beacon directing us back home.” —Chris Burrow

I’m glad I made these songs, no matter how personal they are."
