Lyrics
In the morning
Just before the dawn
When the heart sags
From the weight of dark’s crown
And the eye strains
To pierce the veil of the night
For just a glimpse of the light
It’s in these moments
There seems no end to the pain
When the clouds cry
And share their tears of rain
And this heart longs
For just a hint of the sight
For just a glimpse of the light
And on the drifting wind
Like a call scarce heard
Slowly opens the eye of the world
And in it we catch a glimpse of the light
When the shadows
Raise the flag of retreat
And the rhythm drums
In every heartbeat
And the forest
That hid the day from the night
Now gives a glimpse of the light
In the morning
In the glow of the dawn
My companions and I
Lift our voices in song
As the words rise
Broken-winged birds in flight
We catch a glimpse of the light
Glimpse of the light
