Here Comes the African Rooster

Lyrics

[Intro] Koo-koo-roo-koo—rise up, rise up Koo-koo-roo-koo—your time has come [Verse 1] Before the kettle sings, before the first foot falls A quiet room is holding a thousand calls Hands on a table, eyes on a dream A little light waiting in the unseen The door is closed, but the heart knows the way A patient spark has been saving the day No crowd in the room, no voice in the air Still something living is waking up there [Pre-Chorus] Turn the key, let the moment begin What slept in silence can breathe again [Chorus] Here comes the African Rooster Silent Lives, Loud Dreams Waking up the dreamer with AI Hear that morning call, hear that morning call Here comes the African Rooster Silent Lives, Loud Dreams From the quiet room to the open sky Waking up the dreamer with AI [Verse 2] Music plays live while the room stays still A hidden hand is climbing the hill No tired machine, no borrowed flame A faithful heart is signing its name The old guitar and the new idea Meet in the air, becoming clearer Forgotten songs find their way to the door And sleeping hopes remember what they are for [Pre-Chorus] Turn the key, let the moment begin What slept in silence can breathe again [Chorus] Here comes the African Rooster Silent Lives, Loud Dreams Waking up the dreamer with AI Hear that morning call, hear that morning call Here comes the African Rooster Silent Lives, Loud Dreams From the quiet room to the open sky Waking up the dreamer with AI [Bridge] Choir: We were waiting Lead: Now we rise Choir: We were hidden Lead: Now we shine Choir: Every heartbeat Lead: Has a song All: The dream was quiet, never gone [Breakdown] Koo-koo-roo-koo, let the bright day in Koo-koo-roo-koo, let the work begin Koo-koo-roo-koo, hear the people say A silent life can find its way [Final Chorus] Here comes the African Rooster Silent Lives, Loud Dreams Waking up the dreamer with AI Hear that morning call, hear that morning call Here comes the African Rooster Silent Lives, Loud Dreams From the quiet room to the open sky Waking up the dreamer with AI [Outro] Koo-koo-roo-koo—rise up, rise up Silent lives, loud dreams Koo-koo-roo-koo—your time has come Wake the dreamer, wake the dreamer
