about

This song was a year in the making. I came up with the melody last year, in 2014. I also, over the course of the year wrote 2 of the verses. Early this Summer the 3rd verse came to me and I recorded the song on my laptop. This is the version I shared. It has since evolved a little but Bryce Anderson, a dear friend of mine encouraged me to share this version because it moved him. I hope it does the same for you.

lyrics

Won't you wake me when you rise?
as the day is breaking
Won't you warm me with your smile?
love to us is saying

This day was made for you
lest we be mistaken
There's treasure through and through
ours for the taking

Said this day is open wide
quietly unfolding
Grace and beauty by your side
ever softly saying

This day was made for you
lest you be mistaken
There's treasure through and through
yours for the taking

(solo)

Spirit guide me when I rise
to be still and listen
in your whisper to abide
ever softly saying

This day was made for you
lest I be mistaken
There's treasure through and through
mine for the taking

yours for the taking

ours for the taking

(end)
