lyrics

Wake Wake
VERSE
Rest, rest, oh one little bird
Nest deep, deep in the day
Safer that way
Into a dream of starlight

Wake, wake, oh one little bird
Take wing, dry when the night
Safer for flight
Dreams of its own day rest

CHORUS
'Cause when it rains heavy from above
Hiding away won't be enough
Don't wait for the sky to clear tonight
Don't wait for the dream of clear moonlight
But when it rains heavy from above
Hiding away won't be enough
Don't wait for the sky to clear tonight
Don't wait for the dream of clear moonlight
For one little bird who dreams in the day
For one little bird night winging away
When it rains heavy from above

VERSE
Toss, turn, oh one little bird relearn
First you must sift then you can lift
Into a sky of starlight

Here, here, many little birds
Don't fear
Now by and by, together you shine
Into the storm to fly

CHORUS
'Cause when it rains heavy from above
Hiding away won't be enough
Don't wait for the sky to clear tonight
Don't wait for the dream of clear moonlight
But when it rains heavy from above
Hiding away won't be enough
Don't wait for the sky to clear tonight
Don't wait for the dream of clear moonlight
For all little birds who dream in the day
For all little birds night winging away
When it rains heavy from above
