Wake Up The Dawn
Wake up the dawn and tell her to come down
Tape up the tear and hope it won't be found
Send the stars to sleep and hide away
The crack in your smile that's turning you grey
Now is not the time for crowds to point and laugh
Just go to the graveyard and read the faded epitaphs
Tomorrow's memories will happen today
Let yesterday's dreams all just fade away
The truth is plain but I know what we can do
We'll dress it up and make it look like new
With tarnished sequins and glittery shapes
Of hearts and stars and traps and escapes…
So wake up the dawn and tell her to come down
To sit on her throne and put on her crown
C'mon, let's chase Time!
He's over there, watching the skies with his hopeless eyes…
And, who knows?
Maybe we can snatch a handful of minutes
For ourselves.
C'mon, let's challenge Reality!
He's over there, stroking the grasses with his broken glasses…
And, who knows?
Maybe we can take a look at the light
For ourselves.
