Early Morning Dawn

See the sun a rising o’er the meadow

See the sunrise chase away the shadows

See the darkness in your life has gone...

You’ve been offered a brand new day now

Find yourself a brand new way now

Somewhere in an early morning dawn...

Can’t you see the sun shinin’ brightly,

World’s areachin out for warmth and light

‘Cause you know that life can’t last alone...

And if you let some light into your life now

you’ll find an answer you know is rightt now

Somewhere in an early morning dawn.

Been alone so long you just can’t see where to turn

So many doubts but a new day has begun

So build yourself a dream, write yourself a song

Then see if you can sing it - You don’t have to sing alone!

Say it’s time you started living

Take the life the day is giving

there’s some things you know you just can’t hide.

Everytime you cut off the feeling

Tell yourself old wounds are healing

But you’ve only turned your pain inside

Now when you awake each morning

life is new with a new flame burning

Taste the sweetest peace you’ve ever known

the lonely nioght is just a reflection

Find yourself a new direction

Somewhere in an early morning dawn...

Beenaalone so long you just can’t see where to turn

So many doubts but a new day has begun

So build yourself a dream, write yourself a song

Then see if you can sing it - You don’t have to sing alone!
