Bruce Cockburn To Raise The Morning Star Lyrics

To Raise The Morning Star Lyrics

Rising like lightspill from this sleeping town Like the light in a lover's eyes
Rising from the hearts of the sleepers all around All those dreamers trying to
light the sky 



Burning -- all night long Burning -- at the gates
of dawn Singing -- near and far Singing -- to raise the morning star 



Rising like lightning in the pregnant air It's electric -- I can feel its
might I can feel it crackling in my nails and hair -- Makes me feel like i'm
dancing on feet of light 



Burning -- all night long Burning -- at
the gates of dawn Singing -- near and far Singing -- to raise the morning star




Singing for the yellow and the brown and the black For the red
and the white people, too Dovetailing strong points with the things we lack
Singing for the people like me and you 



Burning -- all night long
Burning -- at the gates of dawn Singing -- near and far Singing -- to raise the
morning star
