A New Dawn

I hear a wailing

I hear a heart breaking

Something in the atmosphere

is changing

and I can hear souls shaking

Someone in Him is changing

and their heart

is learning to beat

I hear a wind howling

and the trees begin to shake

The leaves begin to tremble

and my soul begins to quake

I can sense a new beginning

I can feel some new degree

I see something breaking

falling, I see the debris

I hear the air crying

and the skies begin to shift

an old life is dying

a new life dawn's swift

I want to cry out

I can barely resist

I take my hoop and dance

Come, restoration, come!
