Day Song br br Let us rise to the occasion br Let us rise in elation br In the morning I awake br Suddenly I realize my mistake br I get up to sing the praise br of sunrise in the day haze br br I bathe in the translucent lake br The rainbirds fly across the sky br I smell fragrant pollen scattering in the garden br I touch light motes whirling in the air br I dance in the rain of fragrant petals swirling in the wind br br Let us rise to the occasion br Let us rise in elation br In the morning I awake br Suddenly I realize my mistake br I get up to sing the praise br of sunrise in the day haze br br Night lingers as slow as a walking shadow br Wake up to watch sunrise and gaze at morning glory br In the deep blue night faceless I lie up to the sky br In the soft nest of dreams I gaze at the stars br I am moved by the sway of entangled stories br br Let us rise to the occasion br Let us rise in elation br In the morning I awake br Suddenly I realize my mistake br I get up to sing the praise br of sunrise in the day haze br br On a splendid day I bask in the sun br The room is splattered by flakes of lightmotes br I wear the crystal necklace adorned with beads of rain br I try to touch the sky; I try to fly in the clouds so high br Let's lie in the seabed and dreams of underwater br br Let us rise to the occasion br Let us rise in elation br In the morning I awake br Suddenly I realize my mistake br I get up to sing the praise br of sunrise in the day haze br br The girl's flowing hair is tangled with seaweed br The tree branches are entwined over the waves br The newly-born bird twitters on the frail twigs br The bright audience starts humming the day song br The cheerful crowd bursts into chorus to praise the sun br br br Sara Adeline Mazzolini copyright 2014
