Wake from your sleep all you weary ones
Who are weary of the night
Look to the east all you dreary ones
Who are waiting for the light

Dawn is breaking, and a new day is born
The world is singing the song of the dawn
Birds are waking, hear them welcome the morn
They're sweetly singing the song of the dawn
Yesterday the skies were grey
Look this morning they're blue
The smiling sun tells everyone
Come and start life anew
Sing hallelujah, for the dark night is gone
The world is singing the song of the dawn

(Musical Break)

Yesterday the skies were grey
Look this morning they're blue
The smiling sun tells everyone
Come and start life anew
Sing hallelujah, for the dark night is gone
The world is singing the song of the dawn
