You're the first Dawn on an arctic city
The awakening light spreading over its landscape
Breathing warm life into its frozen skeleton
Moving its people to action
Producing what would never have been produced
Making, Creating, dancing, laughing
They're taking credit, taking bows
They're cashing checks, feeling proud
Their life a shadow of the light you're giving
Your light, the catalyst to the life they're living
Winter lingers on the horizon
Weaving itself into the fabric of existence
Persistence is its game, it waits
The winter is coming and where will be the light
Was it interior?
Was it exterior?
Can you remember?
That first dawn
The one that woke you up
