Each night signals a brand new day.
A bright sunrise arrives at dawn.
The sun chases the dark away.
It's warmth completes morning's array.
The mist hovers over the lawn.
Each night signals a brand new day.
The rising brilliance melts the grey.
Golden rays race across the lawn.
The sun chases the dark away.
Morning is nature's best display.
It's splendor never could be drawn.
Each night signals a brand new day.
At night, we wander with dismay.
We fear those wicked dreams we spawn.
The sun chases the dark away.
When light speaks, darkness must obey.
It soothes our fears and we move on.
Each night signals a brand new day.
The sun chases the dark away.
