Ailish Byrne - Dawn's Embrace in Ireland Lyrics

In the hush of dawn, with a gentle breeze
As the world awakes, all troubles ease
Morning mist that clings to the rolling fields
The quiet peace that the countryside yields
With the rising light all the birds take flight
Filling Irish skies with songs so bright

Oh hear the lark rise with the morn's gray veil
And hearts be joyful as green hills unveil
With each bright sunbeam, a blessing is laid
Oh praise the dawning of the Irish day
By Shannon's waters, dew-kissed leaves do sway
And emerald pastures greet us with their play

Oh Through the meadows runs a silver stream,
Where the sunlight dapples, a painter's dream,
Ancient stones stand, proud and serene,
Whispers of ancestors, in the air unseen.
Lift our voices, with the fiddle's tune,
Soft as the sigh of the wind in June.

And as the dawn breaks, hills ablaze with gold,
Nature's canvas, stories of old unfold.
The lilt of the pipes stirs the silent air,
An Irish blessing, heard everywhere.
Oh dance in the light of the newborn sun,
Where rivers sparkle, the day has begun.

In the village's calm, hear the blacksmith's fire
As it sparks to life the day's desire
Thatch-roofed cottages with smoke so sweet
Waking souls within to the morning's greet
Farmers rise, as the cockerel crows
To fields of green where the wildflower grows
