in the early morning
before the Sun is dawning
as darkness slips away
before the light of day
breathing in the air feels clean
against my skin just like a dream
of when I was a boy
each morning full of joy
now the years have come and gone
on this journey we're all on
feeling joy once more
like stepping through a door
to a place where all is bright
even darkness feels so light
it's a wonder to be here
awake with you so near
we are all the flowers blooming
we're in all the airplanes zooming
we are the birds which fly
with grace up in the sky
in the early morning
before the Sun is dawning
as darkness slips away
before the light of day
breathing in the air feels clean
against my skin just like a dream
of when I was a boy
each morning full of joy
now the years have come and gone
on this journey we're all on
feeling joy once more
like stepping through a door
