From the recording In the Trees
Lyrics
THE DAWNING OF THE LIGHT
Acorns crunch beneath my feet
Mourning doves whistle as they take flight
Leaves become a fiery hue
At the dawning of the light
The dawning of the light
The dawning of the light
Children share their wisdom
At the dawning of the light
Squirrels bury acorns
Wind whistles through the trees
Rain pours down upon us
At the dawning of the light
The dawning of the light
The dawning of the light
Women speak their minds
At the dawning of the light
They say it’s always darkest
Just before the dawn
I feel the darkness all around me
At the dawning of the light
The dawning of the light
The dawning of the light
People stand up for their rights
At the dawning of the light
In the deepest darkness
A little acorn grows
And becomes a giant tree
At the dawning of the light
The dawning of the light
The dawning of the light
We all stand up for our rights
At the dawning of the light
The dawning of the light
The dawning of the light
We all stand up for our rights
At the dawning of the light
