Is that the morning light I see
Shining in on me, I must be waking up
It's been so long since I've seen daybreak
I must be awake again
I don't want to sleep through my whole life
I don't want to lose my soul in the night
I just want to sing to the morning light
I must be waking up
A night bird sings and shows his scarlet wings
He's waking up hear him waking up
And everyday he's got a brand new prayer to say
When he's waking up the day
He doesn't want to sleep through his whole life
He doesn't want to lose his song in the night
He just wants to sing to the morning light
He's waking up
Is that the morning light I see
Shining in on you and me
We must be waking up
It's been so long since this old world has seen daybreak
Think we're awake this time
We don't want to sleep through our whole lives
We don't want to lose this world in the night
So come on let's work until we get this world right
Come on let's wake up now
Shining in on me, I must be waking up
It's been so long since I've seen daybreak
I must be awake again
I don't want to sleep through my whole life
I don't want to lose my soul in the night
I just want to sing to the morning light
I must be waking up
A night bird sings and shows his scarlet wings
He's waking up hear him waking up
And everyday he's got a brand new prayer to say
When he's waking up the day
He doesn't want to sleep through his whole life
He doesn't want to lose his song in the night
He just wants to sing to the morning light
He's waking up
Is that the morning light I see
Shining in on you and me
We must be waking up
It's been so long since this old world has seen daybreak
Think we're awake this time
We don't want to sleep through our whole lives
We don't want to lose this world in the night
So come on let's work until we get this world right
Come on let's wake up now
