Empyrean Dawn
How wonderful this world of Thine A fragment of a fiery sun How lovely and how small Where all things serve Thy great design And life's adventure has begun How wonderful this world A fragment of a fiery sun How lovely and how small The smallest seed in secret grows Thrusting upward and so soon The bidding of the light The bud unfurls into a rose The wings within the white cocoon Are perfected for flight The migrant bird in winter fled Shall come again with spring And build, in this same shady tree How wonderful this life No random path this great design How fragile and how bold The mystery of creative thought The wonder of the human frame Of spirit and of soul Songtexte When life within the nidus wakes The formless taking shape unfolds How complex and how strange The heart created free to choose The quintessential breath is given In love's own image born Aus Songtexte Mania
