Long before dawn he
feels the end of the night.
He’s moving in the dark. He sees daylight.
He’s an early riser, a singer in the dark
and oblige
with a song.
But it doesn’t worry
him
that the world will still sleep.
Long before sunrise he is
conscious of the night.
He’s moving from the
dark. He sees daylight.
He’s an early riser, a singer in the dark.
And he sings to announce
a new, bright morning to awake
from the sleep of the just.
Do you hear the early riser?
Do you hear him in the night?
He’s an early riser, a singer in the dark.
And he sings without asking for permission,
even if all the world will still sleep.
Do you hear the early riser?
Do you hear him in the night?
Listen to the early riser.
He’s a singer in the dark.
