Sunrise

The sun streaked across the sky,
Its rays killed the dark
As arrows do the fearful foe
And signaled the birth of a new dawn.

Yet the world was snoring
In its deep enchanted slumber.

The chirping of birds filled the sky
As the music strummed sweetly
The gentle breeze lifted the blanket of sleep
As the sky cleared for the display of Apollo’s might

Yet the world was snoring
In its deep enchanted slumber.

When will we wake
Up to the new dawn?
Why are we still lost I dreams,
Of glories and conquests long gone?

Wake up! Wake up!
It’s the clarion call of the day
The time of slumber is long gone.
Let’s step out of our shells.

At the herald of the new day
Grab the sun with both hands
And put its fire in our hearts
And show the world our awakening.
