Lyrics Esther Ofarim

Esther Ofarim

Waking Up

Is that the morning light I see,

shining in on me,

must be waking up.

It's been so long

since I've seen daybreak,

I must be awake

again.

I don't wanna sleep through my whole life,

don't want to lose my soul in the night.

Just want to sing to the morning light,

I must be waking up.

The nightbird sings

and shows his scarlet wings,

he is waking up,

hear him waking up!

Every day he's got a brand new prayer to sing,

when he's waking up the day.

Don't wanna sleep through his whole life,

doesn't want to lose his soul in the night.

Just wanna sing to the morning light,

he must be waking up.

Is that the morning light I see,

shining in on me,

I know we must be waking up.

It's been so long

since this old world's seen daybreak,

we must be awake

this time.

We don't wanna sleep through our whole lifes,

we don't wanna lose this world in the night.

We just need to work 'till we get this world right,

we're waking up
