A New Day Rising
A NEW DAY RISING
Lyrics: I. van der Stoel & D. van Wijgerden
I’ve left my home since time long gone,
The way for me was not yet known.
My destiny seemed dark and grim,
A life with failure and disgrace.
But amidst the forest’s oldest trees,
I stumbled ‘pon a spider wee,
Falling oft, not giving in,
My lot was suddenly revealed.
Chorus:
A new day rising
Another day to live again
A new day rising
Another day to claim my place
A new day rising
Another day to live or die
A new day rising
Another day to try!
This scene before my wary eyes,
The sound of song among the trees,
Full of might and heroic deeds,
Marks the start of my long search!
