Dawning Is the Day

Rating Comments Author Date
Average song rating "Dawning is the Day" is the sort of low-key classic to which Moodies fans keep coming back. This Justin Hayward composition does not scream "HIT" when you hear it, but the melodic complexity, uplifting message (uhhh...what exactly IS the message?), and flawless ensemble performance will impress to a deeper level given repeated playings. One of the album's highlights. Bruce Beatlefan November 5, 2011

Lyrics

Rise, let us see you,
Dawning is the day,
Miss, misty meadow,
You will find your way,
Wake up in the morning to yourself and leave this crazy life behind you.
Listen, we're trying to find you.

Flow to the sea,
You know where to go,
Still we are free,
No one tells the wind which way to blow.
Wake up in the morning to yourself,
Open your eyes and start to be you.
Listen, we think we can see you.
Baby there's no price upon your head,
Sing it, shout it.
Now the angry words have all been said.
Do it, don't doubt it.

So rise, let us see you,
Dawning is the day,
Miss, misty meadow,
You will find your way,
Wake up in the morning to yourself, open your head and look around you.
Listen, we think we have found you.
