About This Song: (Lyrics Below)
I don’t know about you, but I’m a morning person. A lot of musicians are “night people.” Not me. Morning. Sun rise. Dawn…
I love the quietness and then the stirring of the birds and the transition from night to day…
It shows up in a lot of my songs. I sang this last night at Transformation Tuesday #10. And if felt so good to sing I wanted to share it with you this morning…
This recording is one I did back in the 1990’s at Gene Moore’s studio.
Enjoy it and enjoy this precious moment called “today”.
– Mark
p.s. please share! thanks! :o)
Rise Away
Song # 69 | 10/23/1984 | CD: TBD
I thought I heard the starlight whisper
“Morning comes! Oh morning comes!”
Before I had the time to wonder
The sky gave birth to a squinting sun
Refrain:
Rise away, rise away
Rise away, rise away
Every day is just a moment
Beyond a moment caught in time
If time is cruel, then there’s no explaining
Because I know, this day is kind
Refrain:
What is light but quick illusion
Particles skating along a line
You must live beyond your breathing
Like splintered sunlight in a glass of wine
Refrain:
(optional verse)
If you look at life through your dark glasses
You won’t see a thing you haven’t seen before
And if you start straight at the morning
You might see less, but then you might see more…
Refrain:
