Subject: Lyr Add: SLEEPERS AWAKE (Incredible String Band)
It would be much like this:


Sleepers awaken; the night has gone, and taken
Your darkest fears, and left you here:
And the sun it shines so clear,
And the sun it shines so clear;
Oh awake, for the world looks wonderful.

Oh glorious golden Sun: your song of light you'll bring;
And when we turn away, your silver sister Moon doth sing.
Then once again we face your glory and your grace
And those whom sleep still takes,

Ta ra ra ra ra ta ta ta
Tell the little birds to wake.
Ta ra ra ra ra ta ta ta;
Tell the little birds to wake.
Ta ra ra ra ra ta ta ta.

Sleepers awaken; the night has gone, and taken
Your darkest fears, and left you here:
And the sun it shines so clear,
And the sun it shines so clear;
Oh awake, for the world looks wonderful.

You send your beams to earth, giving clouds their birth;
And looking to the sky, they see your diamond eye
Livening sap and cell. They love you very well;
And, answering the first light's ring,

Ta ra ra ra ra ta ta ta
Push their petals back and sing.
Ta ra ra ra ra ta ta ta
Push their petals back and sing;
Ta ra ra ra ra ta ta ta.

Sleepers awaken; the night has gone, and taken
Your darkest fears, and left you here:
And the sun it shines so clear,
And the sun it shines so clear;
Oh awake, for the world looks wonderful.
