Font:      
Align:    
  • This song was first released on the dreamland express album. it is the only album it has been released on.
  • African sunrise, shine on a brand new day
  • African sunrise, show us a brand new way
  • Give us a brand new morning
  • Show us forever beginning to stand on our own
  • African sunrise, smile on my african home
  • In this hour of quiet contemplation
  • The stillness of the dawning calms my mind
  • I face the day with heartfelt exaltation
  • The light is both a promise and a sign
  • In the darkness we have lost the son of our sister
  • Though the beauty of his spirit lingers still
  • This was a child of love, a child of laughter
  • Who cannot understand the way I feel
  • Is it not the sun that gives the seasons
  • Is it not the sun that brings the rain
  • Our throats are choled with dust, but were still singing
  • Our song will not be silenced by the rain
  • All around the village I could hear the roosters crowing
  • There was a time it was like music to my ears
  • Now all I can hear is the sound of hungry babies crying
  • I pray for rain to wash away their tears
  • African sunrise, light of a brand new day
  • African sunrise, light of a brand new way
  • With one who will be our brother
  • And one who will be our partner and teach us to know
  • African sunrise, smile on my african home
  • African sunrise.....
  • African sunrise.....
