Sunrises

I love a good sunrise Because nothing feels better Than a whole day ahead of you

I feel it today The cold in the air is turning mild The birds can't hold their excitement in I'm in love with the sound that escapes When they awake and stretch and groan and shout My song is playing, too Though it's not quite time for the lyrics yet I'm sure It'll mean something someday.

I'm still in my twenties There's no life after youth, I know it And for now the stubborn air Still keeps the dew on my feet But one day I just know It'll be time for sunset And my birds won't be as excited to see me.

I'm not sure I'll ever be ready.
