[Title] When We Believe

Awake in the morning, I open my eyes
A new day is coming to me
My feet on the floor, I rush to the window
I draw back the curtains to see
The sparkling flowers alive in the meadow
Young blossoming petals reach out

To the fir trees, they are whispering in the breeze
And their song echoes here
In my heart and afar to the East

This is a medley of darkness dying
While silence and emptiness fade away
This is a moment where pain and sorrow
Should crumble and fall
Hail to the radiant light of morning
Our glory and freedom have come today
No more shall we carry these heavy burdens
May peace come to all
If we believe

Darling, get up, there's no need to be frightful
The nightmare has hidden its face
A kiss and a smile, we bow down in prayer
His presence can be felt in this place
We hope for a world lost in sin and transgression
Could one day be born into grace

Into daylight, emerging from the night
And their voices in song
Would spread forth their wings and take flight

These are the medlies of darkness dying
While silence and emptiness fade away
These are the moments when pain and sorrow
Should crumble and fall
Hail to the radiant light of morning
Our glory and freedom have come today
No more shall we carry these heavy burdens
May peace come to all
If we believe

Up on the mountain, the snow capped pinnacle
Looks out far and wide to the East
Beneath the horizon, the morning star beckons
It will not stay asleep in the least
Darling, as lovers alive in a cruel world
We must stand together as one

Like the mountain stands tall above the Earth
We must sing of our faith
Forever sustaining its worth

These are the medlies of darkness dying
While silence and emptiness fade away
These are the moments when pain and sorrow
Should crumble and fall
Hail to the radiant light of morning
Our glory and freedom have come today
No more shall we carry these heavy burdens
May peace come to all
If we believe

Awake in the morning, we open the door
And wander out into the world
No fear in our minds, just this love in our hearts
Our covenant never grows cold
Warm daylight is streaming from heaven to Earth
His love be our new blessed morn
Now and always, we shall sing of praise to He
The King of all Kings
Our God, in the highest, to thee

These are the medlies of darkness dying
While silence and emptiness fade away
These are the moments where pain and sorrow
Should crumble and fall
Hail to the radiant light of morning
Our glory and freedom have come today
No more shall we carry these heavy burdens
May peace come to all
If we believe

These are the medlies of darkness dying
While silence and emptiness fade away
This is the time when all pain and sorrow
Should crumble and fall
Hail to the radiant light of morning
Glory and freedom, we have found this day
No more is there sadness and death or despair
May peace come to all
When we believe

When we believe
When we believe
