Sleepers, Awake!
Sleepers, awaken! The night has gone and taken
Your darkest fears and left you here
And the sun it shines so clear
And the sun it shines so clear
Oh wake for the world looks wonderful
Oh glorious golden sun
Your song of light you bring
And when we turn away
Your silver sister moon does sing
Then once again we face
Your glory and your grace
And those whom sleep still takes:
Dararara ratata ta
Tell the little birds to wake
Dararara ratata ta
Tell the little birds to wake
Dararara ratata ta
Sleepers, awaken! The night has gone and taken
Your darkest fears and left you here
And the sun it shines so clear
And the sun it shines so clear
Oh wake for the world looks wonderful
You send your beams to Earth
Giving flowers their birth
And looking to the sky
They see your diamond eye
Livening sap and cell
They love you very well
And answering the first light's ring:
Dararara ratata ta
Push their petals back and sing
Dararara ratata ta
Push their petals back and sing
Dararara ratata ta
Sleepers, awaken! The night has gone and taken
Your darkest fears and left you here
And the sun it shines so clear
And the sun it shines so clear
Oh wake for the world looks wonderful
