lyrics
The sounds of dawn are filled with grace,
reminding me of peace.
Beginning with the robin’s song
which multiplies with ease.
Sounds that are familiar
gently stir us both awake.
Sunrise is the pinnacle,
a warming glow as daylight breaks.
It beckons us to go outside
and gradually it widens.
This ritual, which we imbibe,
fill up your cup with the horizon.
To see the landscape reappear
is always reassuring
because another day is here,
a miracle occurring.
It’s natural (another day, another day)
yet mystical (a miracle, a miracle occurring).
It’s wonderful, so many things are possible (the possibilities are infinite).
Don’t limit yourself (try new things)
Don’t be hard on yourself (a reminder to be kinder)
And remember (remember)
“Joy is not made to be a crumb”
There’s abundance.
Another day (another day), another opportunity
To radiate with joy (radiate with joy)
And resonate with peace (and resonate with peace)
Another day, another day is here.

I’m so grateful this crossed my path. This album is so beautiful. All the clear technique and mastery and vision are kinda secondary to the fact that this album brought me calm and joy during one of the most difficult times in my life. Yeah, grateful. David McCullough
