Mark Sloniker - A Life In The Day lyrics

The dawn breaks, the moon quakes, The sun wakes up the morning star As night surrenders to the day in a silent bow The dew shakes into still lakes, forgives all past mistakes Last night was a distant then; this morning is our only now (Chorus) 'Cause Love is a sweet surrender, love is a deep surrender Love is time's secret mender, love is our choice alone And in the act of choosing, we pa** beyond win or losing Into this moment where love welcomes us home The sun climbs into the noon sky A bell chimes, echoes its own reply While people take their noon repast in a courtyard in the shade It's busy, yet lazy, part dizzy, half crazy As morning surrenders to the afternoon that she surely made (Chorus) The field mouse surrenders to the falcon The pollen surrenders to the bee The raindrop surrenders to the stream, Which surrenders to the river, which surrenders to the sea The warm light of this late day Shadows grow tall then fade to gray A breeze blows; the sun grows sleepy in its slow decay A bird sings a vespers tune This day will take its leave so soon Her song is like an offering As day surrenders into evening The sun sets, the night falls, the sun has no regrets, None that the night recalls A star shines, the moon glows The earth takes off her daytime clothes Someday the sun will set upon its last day It's had a great life, and now it's time to fade away And in its last act of making light of everything I think I know just what the sun might sing (Well She sings) Love is a sweet surrender, love is a deep surrender Love is time's secret mender, love is our choice alone And in the act of choosing, we go beyond win or losing Past any why or how, into the ever present now Past any there or here, beyond any doubt or fear Into a timeless space, a spaceless time of endless grace It was our choice to wander; it was our choice to roam And by our choice we now return Where love welcomes us home
