Lyrics:
One morning I awoke as the sun raised her head and broke 
Upon the sleeping world in quiet splendor. 
Oh, what a sight, in the prism of that living light 
And time stood still in sweet surrender.

And bathed in the dawn all questions I had were gone 
The answers understood, there were no noises, 
But the whisper of the trees, the mountains they sang to me, 
Everything alive, I heard their voices.

Do you believe in the magic of one perfect moment? 
When the world stops its spinning and all becomes clear. 
Can you feel when you’re in it? Can you see when you’re shown it? 
When you stop to listen, what do you hear?

Chorus: 
Every living thing is waiting for its time to shine 
Every living thing is waiting for the springtime. 
Every songbird wants to be heard. 
Every living thing wants to shine.

Yesterday I tried, I laughed so hard I cried, 
I searched so long, what did I discover? 
The truth? Oh no, many miles more to go, 
But now I feel the comfort of a lover,

When I look to the hills, the mountains and the still 
Places of my heart; I listen, 
In harmony, the breezes blowing through the trees 
They sing to me and I listen.

Do you believe that these trees bear fruit for the ages? 
Do you believe that these mountains share the strength in our bones? 
Do you believe that we all hold the key to our own cages? 
Have you heard the voices singing, calling you home?

Chorus
