Lyrics

E G A The moment is ready, the scene has arrived The sunset is fading, brings light to my eyes The morning is coming, no slowing it down And we are a-waiting, treading the ground She clenches her fist round a locket of gold Tightens her fingers, loosens her hold She's waiting for something, to bring it all in The moment, the Moses, the fire, the wind CHORUS Wake me up early and let me go, wake me up The wind has grown silent, dark clouds in the skies The tension is mounting, she opens her eyes The floorboards are pounding, her hand starts to shake The moment is waiting, she startles awake My feet stomp the sound, ragged cloth on her wrists She's cut short her hair, she's biting her lip Her eyes black as coal-dust, she lets herself go She takes her first step, one step closer to home CHORUS CHORUS Inside of the morning light, I'm going to run to the borderline Inside of the morning light, I'm going to fly Inside of the morning light, I'm going to run to the borderline Inside of the morning light, I'm going to fly Inside of the morning light, I'm going to run to the other side Inside of the morning light, I'm going to fly Inside of the morning light, I'm going to run to the other side Inside of the morning light, I'm going to fly CHORUS CHORUS
