I stand on the mountain aware
Watching the eastern sky
Through hazy and mist shrouded air
The sun rises and yesterday dies
Spread of light over valley and hills
The multi-hued colours so bright
As a promise of end to all ills
As hope is the end of all strife

I stand in my window alone
Watching the eastern sky
Over rooftops, through rustle of leaves
The sun rises and yesterday dies
Soft light gently shines through the lace
As you peacefully sleep unaware
Of the shadows that play o’er your face
As you dream on the pillow we shared.

I stand on tomorrow with you
Watching the eastern sky
The day that is coming is new
The sun rises and yesterday dies
And the past is a memory lost
To a yesterday left far behind
Today's promise - a hope without cost
Driving shadows and fears from my mind
