In the silence of the dawning
birds are waking, start to sing,
light is coming bringing colour,
each day brighter, nearly spring.
Every day the season’s turning
brings a sign of coming birth,
seeds are growing, new growth showing,
pushing through the rock hard earth.
Verse 2 follows
Tune: THE CARNIVAL IS OVER
