Dawn

Night has come And a shadow covers the earth Come and lie down awhile by me I will keep a watch Night has come With the little lanterns above Everything is alright, honey I will stir the fire Night has come to everyone With lullabies of better times Better than we knew And even less than we can know Night has gone And a chorus summons a dawn To awaken a world courage To stand and start to turn Time has come To take my place in the world Lift my head, stand and stretch Stretch my hand toward the blind pull cord Sunlight breaks into my room And the light is almost breaking me With the force of the morning, I cannot move And if you stood in the light that lights the world could you?
