As the sun peeks over the horizon
homes begin to light up
we prepare to work and play
As Dawn flies over the earth
it heralds the arrival of
a completely fresh new day
I wish this Dawn will bring
a day when we are set free
from all sadness, sorrow, and tears
I wish for a new Dawn
when wars and destruction cease,
and disasters no longer do we fear.
The Dawn of a new day
when by kindness is cruelty defeated,
and by honesty is deceit repelled.
A Dawn that brings the day
when greed gives way to charity,
when heaven drives away all hell.
