-- On the Wings of the Dawn --

John Herlihy

If I ride the silky wings of the dawn,

I will find you there.

If you dwell in the depths of the sea,

You will take me there.

If I receive the blessing of a rainbow,

I will sincerely praise thee.

If you give me the wisdom to guide me,

I will follow wherever you lead me.

If beneath my feet a pathway paved in gold,

I will find you there to behold.

If the stars should whisper in fields of wonder,

I will hoard all of their words as plunder.

If the sun illuminates the course of my day,

The moon will brighten my darkest night.

If I ride the velvety wings of the twilight,

We will fly together into the night.
