THE AWAKENING Words & Music Lenny Solomon

© 2008 L.Solomon

Spring’s again upon us, snow’s melting high above

Water weaving cascades down to the streams below

Waking all the fishes from their sleepy winter dreams

They dart between the eddies and the flows

It’s time to get a move on, time to catch the breeze

Time to raise your spirits to the moment

Time to raise your head again and hear the robin’s song

Spring has come, to take us along

Spring has come, to take us along

Snowbells are emerging from the frozen winter soil

Their petals are a sign of the awakening

Sunlight getting warmer, daylight getting long

No more thoughts of gloom or of forsakening

It’s time to get a move on, time to catch the breeze

Time to raise your spirits to the moment

Time to raise your head again and hear the robin’s song

Spring has come, to take us along

Spring has come, to take us along

You don’t have to tell me how hard this winter’s been

I thought of heading south to do some traveling

At times I’d look outside my window and see nothing there

The darkness and the lonely nights, unraveling

(But now) it’s time to get a move on, time to catch the breeze

Time to raise your spirits to the moment

Time to raise your head again and hear the robin’s song

Spring has come, to take us along

Spring has come, to take us along
