Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Awake everyone, the dawn has come
Life is streaming from the sun
A garden blessed, the bird that sings
Nature gives us everything
[Verse 2]
Awake everyone, the time has come
To mend, to tend, our common home
To give our thanks, sow our seeds
Extend a hand to those in need
[Verse 3]
When the soul yearns for love
It comes flowing from above
Mercy, hope, humility
These are the words to live by every day
[Verse 4]
Walls will crumble, we arise
To work as one, abide, provide
Mercy, hope, humility
These are the words we whisper in our sleep
[Verse 5]
When in doubt the nights are long
Wear the smile, wear the sun
To comfort us when alone
Hope your heart love will come
[Verse 6]
Walls will crumble, we arise
Restore the house, we shall provide
Love, compassion, unity
These are the words to live by every day
[Verse 7]
Awake everyone, the time has come
Life is streaming from the sun
Mercy, hope, humanity
These are the words
These are the words
These are the words
