This morning I woke
And found the sun
Rising up to greet me
He was all a’ pearl
And all a’ gold
As he floated o’er the sea
In a rhyme
From mariner’s time
Red sunrise is a warning
But I did not care
And was free as the air
For my heart was burning
This morning I woke
And found the sea
Full of wind and song
She was all of bright
And all of dark
And made my heart long
It beat with powerful zungunrhe
For something beyond the dunes
For something beyond the sea
Searching for my own lost Lenora
Who once flew higher than me
This morning I woke
And found the wind
Ready to bear me away
She was all of joy
And all of fear
As she road in upon the day
I opened my wings
I raised my sail
I wanted to sing
And my lungs did not fail
With all the sea before me
I heard the heavens ring
As I shouted my triumphant goodbye
So all the world could hear
Then I took to the sky
Without any fear
