Song Of The Sunrise 1944 'The Lisbon Story'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 28 Sep 2004

Somewhere the sunrise
is waiting to be born
and tho' it lingers
the darkest hours have gone;
night like a sorrow
the sleeping world has worn
is slowly passing
and life and hope go on;
so is a world from fears awaking.
We'll watch the glory
in a grey sky breaking
somewhere the sunrise
is waiting to smile and say
this is for you this brave new dawn
of a brighter day.

Thro' all the ages
that the world has known
each dawn has brought to earth
a hope of its own;
A fear to vanquish
or a love to win
and hearts have thrilled
to see the day begin.

Somewhere the sunrise
is waiting to be born
and tho' it lingers
the darkest hours have gone;
night like a sorrow
the sleeping world has worn
is slowly passing
and life and hope go on;
so is a world from fears awaking.
We'll watch the glory
in a grey sky breaking
somewhere the sunrise
is waiting to smile and say
this is for you this brave new dawn
of a brighter day.

Somewhere the sunrise
is waiting to be born
and tho' it lingers
the darkest hours have gone;
night like a sorrow
the sleeping world has worn
is slowly passing
and life and hope go on;
so is a world from fears awaking.
We'll watch the glory
in a grey sky breaking
somewhere the sunrise
is waiting to smile and say
this is for you this brave new dawn
of a brighter day.
