Sleepers Awaken (Heron)


Sleepers awaken, the night has gone, and taken
Your darkest fears, and left you here
And the sun it shines so clear
And the sun it shines so clear
Oh awake, for the world looks wonderful

Oh glorious golden Sun, your song of light you'll bring
And when we turn away, your silver sister Moon doth sing
Then once again we face your glory and your grace
And those whom sleep still takes

Ta ra ra ra ra ta ta ta
Tell the little birds to wake
Ta ra ra ra ra ta ta ta
Tell the little birds to wake
Ta ra ra ra ra ta ta ta

Sleepers awaken, the night has gone, and taken
Your darkest fears, and left you here
And the sun it shines so clear
And the sun it shines so clear
Oh awake, for the world looks wonderful

You send your beams to earth, giving clouds their birth
And looking to the sky, they see your diamond eye
Livening sap and cell. They love you very well
And, answering the first light's ring

Ta ra ra ra ra ta ta ta
Push their petals back and sing
Ta ra ra ra ra ta ta ta
Push their petals back and sing
Ta ra ra ra ra ta ta ta

Sleepers awaken; the night has gone, and taken
Your darkest fears, and left you here
And the sun it shines so clear
And the sun it shines so clear
Oh awake, for the world looks wonderful
