Child of Bright New Morning

 

Child of bright new morning,

Telling are things in your world,

Signs of dreams now come true,

What child’s as lucky as you?

 

Watch the day slow rising,

Ending a new wait anew,

And the sun shone gently,

How such a light shines on you!

 

Years have been counted

Before you have come here

To the ground that you stand on

Ready to fly to the sun…

The time that has passed

Saw your merits acquired

Thanks for all that you’ve made

Even those you decided undone…

 

Child of new tomorrows

How many deaths have they seen?

If they tell you, bow low

Offer the hero a prayer…

 

Child of seasons turning

Now all the cold days are through

Child of new day coming

Now all the past lives in you.

 

Years have been counted

Before you have come here

To the ground that you stand on

Ready to fly to the sun…

The time that has passed

Saw your merits acquired

Thanks for all that you’ve made

Even those you decided undone…
