lyrics

From the mouth of the morning
Out poured the dawn
Waking the valley
With her silent song
Like my mother she kissed me with the softest of light
Broke the skyline inked with the darkness of night

She spilled into every space, every fold
To tell of a mercy that is new with each morning
And It flows alike for the rich and the poor
It flows for the slave and the free

Why I've collected all of my sorrow?
Why I have stored it, I do not know
Maybe in shame of its revelation
Maybe in fear of letting it go

From the mouth of the morning out poured the dawn
Waking the valley
With her silent song
To tell of a mercy that is new with each morn
And at an uncertain moment
Day came and dawn was gone
