Before the daylight

I opened up the window and let all the universe in
Before everyone had awakened or the morning could begin
I was hearing the song of the cricket: it was beautiful as can be
It spoke to me of the daylight and the truth of harmony

There's something about the darkness that comes before the light:
It's melody seems to whisper that everything's going to be alright.
In the sacred silence that follows comes the seeding of God's will;
And the heart of every creature receives a mandate to fulfill.

We think that we have awakened with ideas all our own
But in truth we are only acting on what God has wisely sown
Everything comes to us as a pure gift from the Heavens above
And ours is the response we're making to revelation of God's love.
