Dawn

Have you ever slipped out in the morning

To greet a beautiful new dawn...

To see the shades of night disappear

And a new day being born?

To hear a bird's sweet music

As he merrily flutters by...

He tries his wings and soars away

To a beautiful, clear blue sky.

To see the dew drops sparkle

Like diamonds on the hands of a queen?

You would like to awaken the whole wide world

To view the majestic scene.

But most of the world just sleeps away

Never dreaming there's beauty

With the breaking of day.
