Softly wake the morning with the sound of you
Sweeping all the shadows of darkness away!
My new day is dawning
And it’s been so long since sunlight shone down
On my face sadly grey!
You are my light and my day!

In the time of darkness when every mouth was shouting
The noise was much too loud for me to hear a single word
Then the stranger let me far across the mountain
Where a wise man gave me counsel
Then my search was over
With the words my tide is heard

Softly wake the morning with the sound of you
Sweeping all the shadows of darkness away!
My new day is dawning
And it’s been so long since sunlight shone down
On my face sadly grey!
You are my light and my day!

In the time of darkness when every mouth was shouting
The noise was much too loud for me to hear a single word
Then the stranger let me far across the mountain
Where a wise man gave me counsel
Then my search was over
With the words my tide is heard

There’ll be times of light and darkness!
There’ll be times of light and darkness!
There’ll be times of light and darkness!
