Sunrise
As darkness subsides with passage of time
And crazed lights soon fade as well
A sullen silhouette of the rising sun
Brightens the place in which I dwell
Filled with wisdom of an era gone by
And the brightness for a future that commands our way
Rubbing the sleep completely from my eyes...
As the sun breaks the mist of a brand new day
