Its break of dawn, world gets going
All’s on the move, why are you slowing
Just open your eyes, feel the golden gaze
Just feel my song and recall the phrase
I'd agree life's not child's play
I'd agree there are thorns on your way
I'd agree you have grieved a lot
I'd agree life's a battle you have fought
