Words and Music by Fred Small  Copyright 1994 Pine Barrens Music (BMI)  Awake arise all you who slumber  Daylight is driving the stars from the sky  Every creature on earth one song is lifting  From the crab in the tide pool to the petrel in flight  The dew on the grass is a river of silver  The sun on the hills is a veil of gold  Every day is a lifetime of fresh beginnings  Twenty-four untouched hours poised to unfold  Chorus:  So lay down your disappointment and yearning  Everything will be all right  You can't stop this big world from turning  But a dream need not fade in the light  Along the highway neon jewels  Lure us away from our chosen course  Always and again one moment of decision  Do I love myself or my addiction more?  Do not mistake stark fear for failure  Nor the darkness for the night  Though we search for the end of the rainbow  All we seek stands within our sight  Chorus  Who was it told you you didn't deserve love?  Who was it told you you were never good enough?  Voices of the dead just delay and defeat us  Turn your face to the light that is lifting you up  In our ears humanity's clamor  Some we name enemy some we call friend  In both we see our flawed reflection  Lonely and frightened we pose and pretend  May the walls of our hearts soften and open  To comfort the stranger in hunger and pain  Inside every story the seed of understanding  Every leaf is its own but the tree is the same  Chorus
