Children of the Dawn
Close your eyes, the day is done,
Lay your dreams beneath the sun.
Though the night be cold and long,
You are safe within this song.
Oh, the dawn will come again,
After snow and after rain.
Though the stars may lose their light,
Keep the flame alive tonight.
If I leave before the morn,
Do not weep for what is gone.
Keep these words and hold them near,
In this song, I'll always be here.
Oh, the dawn will come again,
After snow and after rain.
Though the stars may lose their light,
Keep the flame alive tonight.
Should the fields forget the grain,
Should the earth know only pain,
Sow the seeds though none may see,
What tomorrow's world will be.
Oh, the dawn will come again,
After snow and after rain.
Though the stars may lose their light,
Keep the flame alive tonight.
When our hands have turned to clay,
When our voices fade away,
Let the children greet the sun,
Let them live where we are done.
Though no stone should bear our name,
Though the years erase our flame,
We shall never see their dawn,
But the world will carry
on.
Oh, the dawn will come again,
After snow and after rain.
Though our eyes shall lose its light,
Keep the flame alive tonight.
Oh, the dawn will come again,
Though we never see its ray.
We were here, and loved,
and gone,
But the world will carry
on.
But the world will carry
on.
