Chase the Morning
Sarah Brightman Lyrics

Shilo…? Is your name Shilo?
I am uncertain if your name is Shilo, can you confirm?

Can I talk to you?
May I have a conversation with you?

Can you come down please...
Would you be able to come down from where you are?

So we can speak?
This is to enable us to have a conversation.

I saw you at the show.
I have noticed your presence during the performance.

I thought I'd seen a ghost.
I mistakenly believed that I had witnessed a spectral presence.

Your resemblance is striking.
Your likeness to someone else is remarkably similar.

You have your mother's eyes, Her hair.
You possess the same eye color and hair as your mother.

I was told you died with her.
I was informed that you passed away along with your mother.

All these years have come and gone.
A significant amount of time has elapsed.

How do I put this...?
I am considering the most appropriate way to express this...

I'm your godmom.
I am your godmother.

State your business.
Kindly state the purpose of your visit/conversation.

Business?
What matter or issue are you referring to?

What do you want?
What are your desires or intentions?

I want, I want to finally meet you - Something real to cling to.
My longing is to finally have a personal encounter with you - a genuine connection to hold onto.

Leave you with the hope that You will go do all you're meant to, All I've failed to.
My desire is to inspire you with the belief that you will fulfill your destiny, which I myself have not achieved.

In you, is a world of promise.
Within you lies a universe filled with potential and possibility.

We have both been kept in bondage, But you can learn from all my failures.
Both of us have experienced confinement and restrictions, but you can gain wisdom from the mistakes I have made.

I'm not supposed to talk to strangers.
I have been instructed not to engage in conversations with unfamiliar individuals.

Or let the through the gate?
Or allow them to enter through the gate?

That either, a big risk.
Both options are considered highly risky.

A big fence.
A substantial barrier.

A mistake.
A blunder or error.

A new friend.
An opportunity for a new friendship.

Chase the morning. Yield for nothing.
Pursue the dawn without yielding to any obstacles or hindrances.

How'd you do that?
How did you perform that action?

Do what?
Could you please specify what action you are referring to?

Do that. That, that eye thing.
Execute that particular eye movement or expression.

These eyes can do more than see.
My eyes possess capabilities beyond visual perception.

I know—I mean, I've seen you sing.
I understand, I have observed you perform vocally.

Where?
In which location or setting did you witness my singing?

From my window. I can see the world from there.
Standing near my window, I have a panoramic view of the world outside.

Name the stars and constellations. Count the cars and watch the seasons.
I possess the ability to identify celestial bodies and patterns, keep track of vehicles, and observe the changing of seasons.

I wish we could have watched together.
It is regrettable that we were unable to share that experience.

I can't have guests.
I am prohibited from entertaining visitors.

Never?
Not at any time or under any circumstance?

Ever. If dad found out That I'd been let out, Or you'd been let in...
Definitely not. If my father were to discover that I had been allowed outside, or that you had been permitted to enter...

I should go then.
In that case, I should depart.

Before I do, promise me you won't--
Prior to my departure, please assure me that you will not...

It's better that you—
It would be more advantageous for you to...

Don't forget that A sheltered rose needs a little Room to bloom outside her bedroom.
Remember, even a protected and confined individual requires some freedom to flourish beyond their enclosed space.

Don't. Forget me. ‘Best If I resume my life inside My bedroom.
Please, do not disregard my presence. It would be preferable if I returned to the familiar environment of my bedroom.

Let your life be your dream.
Allow your existence to become a manifestation of your aspirations.

Integrity. Honesty.
Adhere to principles of moral uprightness and truthfulness.

It's too late for me.
I have reached a point where it is no longer feasible for me to change or achieve my desires.

Don't look back ‘till you're free to Chase the morning…
Refuse to dwell on the past until you have attained the liberty to pursue the opportunities of the future.

Let your life be your dream.
Allow your existence to become a manifestation of your aspirations.

Integrity. Honesty.
Adhere to principles of moral uprightness and truthfulness.

It's too late for me.
I have reached a point where it is no longer feasible for me to change or achieve my desires.

Don't look back ‘till you're free to Chase the morning...
Refuse to dwell on the past until you have attained the liberty to pursue the opportunities of the future.
