Sunrise Blessing

How do you sleep with the weight of the world?

With the flags of the morning finally unfurled.

You tell me to live right, to bed before dawn,

But I’m still awake when the shadows are gone.

Wake up to a blessing, smelling like the dew,

Everything is ancient, everything is new.

Take my whiskey coffee in the early light,

Finding my freedom in the end of the night.

You don't have to pretend, baby, I can see,

The same kind of spirit is living in me.

Bright as the morning, soft as the rain,

Healing the spirit and easing the pain.

Who wants to live forever in a cage?

Turning the leaf and turning the page.

Treat yourself to heaven, treat yourself to grace,

I see the light reflected in your face.

Sunrise blessing, no more guessing.
