To Raise The Morning Star

Rising like lightspill from this sleeping town
 Like the light in a lover's eyes
 Rising from the hearts of the sleepers all around
 All those dreamers trying to light the sky
 Burning -- all night long
 Burning -- at the gates of dawn
 Singing -- near and far
 Singing -- to raise the morning star
 Rising like lightning in the pregnant air
 It's electric -- I can feel its might
 I can feel it crackling in my nails and hair --
 Makes me feel like i'm dancing on feet of light
 Burning -- all night long
 Burning -- at the gates of dawn
 Singing -- near and far
 Singing -- to raise the morning star
 Singing for the yellow and the brown and the black
 For the red and the white people, too
 Dovetailing strong points with the things we lack
 Singing for the people like me and you
 Burning -- all night long
 Burning -- at the gates of dawn
 Singing -- near and far
 Singing -- to raise the morning star
