Dawn Is What We'Re After

The song we once 
knew 
     is the song we
will hear 
The dreams we once had 
      are now displayed in the 
colors of a thousand rainbows 
   Are you ready 
for a new look at reality ?
   Peace - like a shining star 
becomes the real armor 
    which shields us 
from the terrors of 
this world 
Becomes the power 
    that makes our hearts beat 
    The sun is 
still shining down on us 
  Let us take joy 
       in this brand new day
