Here Comes the African Rooster

Lyrics

[Intro] [Rooster call: bright three-note vocal motif] Oh-oh, morning is here Gather close, the dream is near [Verse 1] In a quiet room, one lamp on the wall A small red light says, “You can give it all” No crowded hall, no trumpet at the door Still a hidden heart remembers what it’s for Fingers find the keys, the first note takes its flight A room full of silence turns golden in the night Somewhere in the waiting, a brave idea starts A sleeping song comes knocking on forgotten hearts [Pre-Chorus] Let the world be still, let the vision rise Hope can find a window even with closed eyes [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 a quiet room to a wider sky We are waking up the dreamer with AI [Verse 2] Mama kept a story folded in a drawer Brother had a melody he never shared before Sister wrote a promise underneath her name Years went by, but the fire stayed the same Now the music plays while the room remains calm A little seed of courage, a little healing balm No need to shout to prove the heart is strong When a forgotten dream finds its way into a song [Pre-Chorus] Let the world be still, let the vision rise Hope can find a window even with closed eyes [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 a quiet room to a wider sky We are waking up the dreamer with AI [Bridge] [Lead] Who says a quiet life cannot carry thunder? [Choir] Carry thunder, carry thunder [Lead] Who says a sleeping dream cannot pull us under? [Choir] Wake it gently, bring it forward [Lead] One small spark, one open door [Choir] We remember what we’re living for [All] Let every hidden gift arise Let every weary hope open its eyes [Rooster call: bright three-note vocal motif] Rise, rise, rise [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 a quiet room to a wider sky We are waking up the dreamer with AI [Outro] [Choir] Silent lives, loud dreams [Lead] Your song is still inside you [Choir] Silent lives, loud dreams [Lead] Morning has arrived [All] Here comes the African Rooster
