Bruce Cockburn - To Raise the Morning Star lyrics
[Bruce Cockburn - To Raise the Morning Star lyrics]
Rising like lightspill from
This sleeping town
Like the light in a lover's eyes
Rising from the hearts of
The sleepers all around
All those dreamers trying to light the sky
Burning all night long
Burning at the gates of dawn
Singing near and far
Singing to raise the morning star
Rising like lightning in the pregnant air
It's electric I can feel it's might
I can feel it crackling in my nails and hair
Makes me feel like I'm dancing
On feet of light
Burning all night long
Burning at the gates of dawn
Singing near and far
Singing to raise the morning star
Singing for the yellow and
The brown and black
For the red and the white people, too
Dovetailing strong points with the
Things we lack
Singing for the people like me and you
Burning all night long
Burning at the gates of dawn
Singing near and far
Singing to raise the morning star
Burning burning
Burning burning
Burning burning
This sleeping town
Like the light in a lover's eyes
Rising from the hearts of
The sleepers all around
All those dreamers trying to light the sky
Burning all night long
Burning at the gates of dawn
Singing near and far
Singing to raise the morning star
Rising like lightning in the pregnant air
It's electric I can feel it's might
I can feel it crackling in my nails and hair
Makes me feel like I'm dancing
On feet of light
Burning all night long
Burning at the gates of dawn
Singing near and far
Singing to raise the morning star
Singing for the yellow and
The brown and black
For the red and the white people, too
Dovetailing strong points with the
Things we lack
Singing for the people like me and you
Burning all night long
Burning at the gates of dawn
Singing near and far
Singing to raise the morning star
Burning burning
Burning burning
Burning burning
