about

Heard this one May morning, at dawn, sung by an invisible choir.

lyrics

Did you hear the sun on a bright may morning
Did you hear the sun when he played at dawn
Did you hear the sun on a bright may morning
Call down a blessing on the growing corn ?

And where were you as the dawn was breaking
Were you still asleep in bed ?
With the world all dancing to the pipes of the sun
And a song of gold in every head.

You live in the city all wrapped in concrete
With nothing but pavements beneath your feet
How can you hear the world as it's turning
Or dance to the rhythm of the changing beat ?

Here's a garland for the lady in every hedgerow
Here's a song for the sun and a dance for the moon
Here's a laugh for the living and a prayer for the dying
And a wish for the world to all sing in tune.
