As the earth was still sleeping I walked from my house All the way up to the hills With a peaceful and blissful dawn I was greeted And palm trees were standing so still Down the road through the gates There my father was off to the shore As he did every day On a sailboat he left in the dawn Then I looked to my right Where the earliest light Had begun to enlighten our walls Another day waited me, to my own mystery I was wondering the price of it all. Since the time we fought wars And with scores after scores Our brothers and others were slain We had grown into one, we had basked in the sun We had time to just live here in peace Down the road through the gates There my father was off to the shore As he did every day On a sailboat he left in the dawn On a sailboat he left in the dawn
