The stars begin to fade

The early morning mist is lifting

As he rubs the shadows from his eyes

To warm the room where he was sleeping

Children with their flowers

Ladies in their bright mid-summer clothes

The stained glass windows shine

The congregation kneels in silence

Then the organ and choir

Join the birds in the trees

As they sing their Sunday morning song
