journey to dawn

Milton Nascimento

The silent stars turn above me
And slowly pass on their way to morning
And I must rise up and go now
And make my own long journey to dawn

And I must leave those who love me
And close my mind to the cries and warnings
I understand and I know now
Why I must make this journey to dawn

This is all as it should be
I have to do all I can
I must become all I could be
And stand up tall as a man
Then at last my longing eyes
Gaze on the blaze of the sunrise
I'll touch the skies with my fingers
And take my prize

Already I see before me
The first pale colours of early morning
I turn my face to the glow now
And set off on my journey to dawn

Minha crença morrendo
E minha vida nascendo
Eu vou achar alegria
Eu vou achar

Already I see before me
The first pale colours of early morning
I turn my face to the glow now
And set off on my journey to dawn
