We Are Children of the Dawn Lyrics


We are children of the dawn

Looking for the sun

Will we ever see it shine

In the days to come

We are children lost from life

Lost forever more

Destined to be lonely swans

On a lonely shore

Friends of old to you we sing

A song to close the day

Slumber now in peaceful dreams

As it fades away

Slowly now the darkness falls

On the earth so still

Like a bird it spreads its wings

Over valley, lake and hill

Shadows deep crawl over the land

Swallowing light and song

Yet we can't leave this windy shore

Bound by chains so strong

Distant fleeting echoes of yore

of when the dawn was bright

Twilight breaks light granite on ice

we are children born in night

Friends of old to you we sing

A song to close the day

Slumber now in peaceful dreams

As it fades away

Slowly now the darkness falls

On the earth so still

Like a bird it spreads its wings

Over valley, lake and hill
