Slowly it climbs

See how it illuminates the sails

Out on the distant water.

Slowly it climbs

Over the still dark mountains,

Majestic and bright.

The sun rises

Shining with all its glory.

Slowly it climbs

Like a baby waking from a peaceful sleep.

Slowly the dawn conquers

Dispelling the darkness, giving hope.

Slowly it takes control of everything before it,

Everything in its path.

The dawn rises.
