Before sunrise
Before sunrise
Before sunrise
Before sunrise
Before sunrise

Before sunrise
We watch as we wait
Before sunrise
Light floods our eyes dilate
We are the streams of lights
We pass through the skyline
We are the streams of light
That free flow and entwine





We are the streams of light
We pass through the skyline

Before sunrise
The time just before the sun rises


We watch as we wait
Observing and anticipating the coming of the sunrise


Light floods our eyes dilate
Our eyes widen as the heavy darkness before the sunrise is replaced by bright light


We are the streams of lights
Referring to the rays of light that break through the horizon at dawn


We pass through the skyline
The rays of light travel across the sky above us


That free flow and entwine
The rays of light move and intertwine freely in the sky
