Sunlit Reverie

Morning opens on the hills of gold

I lift my heart where the bright winds roll

Carry my name through the ancient sky

Teach me to sing and not ask why

Far in the valley the bells reply

Soft are the leaves when the swallows fly

Ah laia, ah laia,

rise with me

Little voices, bright and free

Hold this fire above the sea Until the dark gives way

Sing, sing over the water and stone

Lift every window, call every home Here in the light we are

never alone Hearts like a river returning

Sing, sing till the night opens wide Hope is a lantern we

carry inside

High over sorrow our voices will ride

On and on, still burning

I knew the weight of a winter room

Dust on the frame and a fading bloom

Then came a chord from a distant door

And all the silence was still no more

Now every scar is a silver thread

Woven in songs that the young ones spread

Gloria, carry us Gloria,

gather us near

Small hands of heaven,

sing through us Turn every trembling to clear

Sing, sing over the water and stone

Lift every window, call every home

Here in the light we are never alone

Hearts like a river returning

Sing, sing till the night opens wide

Hope is a lantern we carry inside

High over sorrow our voices will ride

On and on, still burning

Sing, sing though the old world may bend

Love is the road that remembers the end

Voice after voice we will rise and ascend

On and on, unbroken

Ah laia, ah

laia

Sing over stone, sing over sea

Ah laia, ah laia

Carry the dawn in me

Gloria, gloria

Home in the sky,

home in the air

Gloria,

gloria

Love

is still there
