It is good to get up before the birds start to sing;

To find out who I am,

Before my flights of fancy

Wing around a sky so blue

That forever seems mine for the taking;

To have light dawn upon me

When I am lost in reverie

Between the world within

I cannot fathom

And the common things I see;

I learn the story of man and creation

From the very beginning:

Then when the heavens begin to open

And Mother Nature begins to groan

I can know this day for what it is,

And find God and myself alone.
