Lyrics Sleepers, Awake! - The Incredible String Band

Sleepers, Awake!

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 wake for the world looks wonderful.
Oh glorious golden sun,
Your song of light you bring,
And when we turn away,
Your silver sister moon does sing.
Then once again we face,
Your glory and your grace,
And those whom sleep still takes:
Dararara ratata ta,
Tell the little birds to wake.
Dararara ratata ta,
Tell the little birds to wake.
Dararara ratata 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 wake for the world looks wonderful.
You send your beams to Earth,
Giving flowers 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:
Dararara ratata ta,
Push their petals back and sing.
Dararara ratata ta,
Push their petals back and sing.
Dararara ratata 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 wake for the world looks wonderful.
