If you wake up very early,
Let me share with you a story.
Even though the world is blurry,
You will smile in all your glory.
You will feel it everywhere
How the morning wants to please us,
How it scatters in the air,
In the sunshine and the breezes.
All your thoughts, there is no doubt,
Truly find a magic haven,
Everything we dream about
Is well recognized in heaven.
If you notice and acquire
Every glitter, every sound,
I will know that you inspire
And make flourish all around.
If you wake up very early,
To the church bell’s morning ringing,
Even though the world is blurry,
You can bless it by your singing.
When the songs merge in a choir,
In a dream with all desire
You will hear the summer voices
That make everything transpire.
