[Chorus]
Hold me, hold me
Breathe the light into me
Hold me, hold me
Mother Dawn
Mother Dawn

[Verse 1]
Dancing 'round the fire, circling the flame
Listen to the shadows calling out my name
They say, "Rock me like a baby, cradle me in the light
Bathe me in a rainbow, sun restore my sight"

[Chorus]
Hold me, hold me
Breathe the light into me
Hold me, hold me
Mother Dawn (All night long, yeah)

Hold me, hold me
Breathe the light into me (All night long, yeah)
Hold me, hold me
Mother Dawn
Mother Dawn
Look into the light

[Verse 2]
Come and take a journey through the land of night
Darkness strokes the face and steals away the sight
Night is all around me, stars are in my hair
I feel them tangled in the secrets we'll find hidden there, all right
Reaching through the madness to the other side
Where the sun is rising with her arms held wide

[Chorus]
Hold me, hold me
Breathe the light into me
Hold me, hold me
Mother Dawn (All night long, yeah)

Hold me, hold me (Till the dawn light comes)
Breathe the light into me (All night long yeah)
Hold me, hold me
Mother Dawn (All night long)
(I know you're gonna love me)
(I know you're gonna love me)

[Verse 3]
One star flew against the tapestry of the night
And the earth revolved in perfect symmetry
To a symphony of sun
The moon danced its final bow
As the birth of day exploded in my eyes

[Bridge]
Reaching through the madness
To the other side
Where the sun is rising
With her arms held wide
Rock me like a baby
Cradle me in light
You're gonna bathe me in a rainbow
And the sun restore my sight

[Chorus]
Hold me, hold me
Breathe the light into me
Hold me, hold me
Mother Dawn (All night long, yeah)

Hold me, hold me (Till the dawn light comes, yeah)
Breathe the light into me (All night long, yeah)
Hold me, hold me
Mother Dawn (I know you're gonna love me yeah)

I know you're gonna love me
All night long, yeah
Till the dawn light comes
All night long, yeah
I know you're gonna love me love me
All night long, yeah
Till the dawn light comes, yeah
All night long, yeah
I know you're gonna love me, love me
Mother Dawn

A series of music videos for songs such as “Dancing With Myself”, “White Wedding”, “Rebel Yell” and “Eyes Without a Face” made him one of the first MTV stars. Idol continues to tour with guitarist Steve Stevens.
