A New Dawn Arises

Gather around all you gents and ladies
For a new dawn has risen this day
Wipe the sleep from your dreary eyes
And listen to the birds sing their welcoming songs
Let us fill our lungs with the morning dew
And smell the coffee brewing in rhythm
With anticipation for that first warming sip
The sun is rising to show you its glory
So you may greet the day with the beauty around you
Let the past rest in peace as your eyes stay on the horizon
Looking forward unto a bright new future
Joyful times are just a thought away
And you are the master of this brand new day
Make it the best as if your last chance
To live the life you have always dreamed of
Dreams really do come true
