Lyrics (by Tim Barber) We're running, we're running, we're running through the fields, We're leaping, we're leaping, we're leaping like the deer (hey!) We're dancing, we're dancing, we dance with all our might To celebrate the coming of the light! We're laughing, we're laughing, we're laughing up a storm, We're shouting, we're shouting, we're shouting to the Lord (hey!) We're roaring, we're roaring, we're roaring at the night To celebrate the coming of the light! Dawn is breaking! Dawn is breaking! Awake Oh sleeper! How long will you sleep? Arise and greet the day! Arise and shine for your light has come, And the glory of the Lord has risen on us today! (repeats) The darkness, the darkness, the dark will soon be past; The morning, the morning, the morning comes at last. And we stand on the hilltop, our faces shining bright, To celebrate the coming of the light! Tim can be contacted at tsbarber@juno.com. He's written many excellent songs, all of which are covered by the Christian Copyright Licensing International licence for churches. This song (and others equally good) are on his privately-produced cassette, "Let Your Kingdom Come (Songs for the Feast of Tabernacles)" - well worth a listen.
