Product Description
This song for voice and piano talks of the promise of spring after a long winter, but also talks of the nurturing darkness of the winter. It was originally written as a Christmas Carol, but might be more appropriate as a Soltice song.
Words are:
In the dark
of win-ter the bulbs and the seeds
lay deep in
the nur-tur-ing earth.
'Tis a time
of re-new-al, a time of sleep
a-wait-ing
the pro-mise of birth.
Come new
life, come out of the dark.
Rise to the
pro-mise of spring.
Come new
life, come out of the warmth.
See what the
new life will bring.
In the dark
of night we go to our beds
and ga-ther
new strength in our dreams.
'Tis a time
of rest, a time to sleep
a-wait-ing
the sun's morn-ing beams.
A-wak-en my
soul! Come out of the dark.
Rise to the
pro-mise of dawn.
A-wak-en my
soul! Come out of the warmth.
See how the
day is re-born.
Come new
life, come out of the dark.
Rise to the
pro-mise of spring.
Come new
life, come out of the warmth.
See what the
new life will bring.
A-wak-en my
soul! Come out of the dark.
See how the
day is re-born.
A-wak-en my
soul! Come out of the warmth.
Rise to the
pro-mise of dawn!
