Waking One

[Verse 1]
In every day we have begun
With every waking one
I pray for our daughters and our sons

I pray for the light within their eyes
That forever their freedom flies
I pray for the day; the day has come

If ever you fall into the night
And lose all sense of sight
Remember that darkness births the light

And when you rise again once more
Still stronger than before
You’ll know the time you came here for

[Chorus]
And through my eyes I’m feeling older now
In knowing how
I made my vow

And so I feel a little closer now
I take my bow
Your time is now

[Verse 2]
So follow the path unto the sun
Where lies the waking one
And when you rise the dream is done

Melodies, ancient voice, and song
Will keep you safe and make you strong
To not forget what’s yet to come

So live your dreams and dream of truth
Dream of life and live your youth
And one day you will look back through

Remember the way that we have come
All as daughters and as sons
So pray for the day to carry on

And through this life we find our fears and truths
In age and youth
And so we choose

And through my eyes I’ve seen in color too
The world as new
I’ll see you through

[Bridge]
Realize upon the first lightrays of the sun
To embrace the morning light of victory we have won
Hey, yes, within this rising no longer dreaming is done
The light of consciousness shines to behold the waking one
True love is stronger than ever
Heavy and light as a feather
Always connected and severed
Now listen, youth, here's my message
Remember all life is precious
And that we share the same essence
And what you do to harm others
It only shatters reflections
And it diminishes treasures
So let us live with forgiveness
So when we look back
We find we love beyond measure
All of our daughters and sons
Once mothers unto all ones
Melodic voices have sung
New ancient times have begun
Get ready for what's to come
All of the seeds we plant now
Will flourish under the sun
So keep your heart in alignment
With all your thoughts, words, and actions
Keep your relations authentic
And free yourself of distractions
And move towards the sun

[Chorus]
And through my eyes I’m feeling older now
In knowing how
I made my vow

And so I feel a little closer now
I take my bow
Your time is now

[Outro]
In every day we have begun
With every waking one
I pray for our daughters and our sons

I pray for the light within their eyes
That forever their freedom flies
I pray for the day; the day has come
