The daylight breaks and silver dew
Reflects a sparkling light
Night shadows swiftly slip away
And reveal an elflike child
Child of dawn, the twilight holds you tight
Child of dawn, you're bound to keep the night
The child moves like a fairy
With hair as white as snow
Its skin of bronze shines beautiful
Its eyes of fire glow
Child of dawn, the twilight holds you tight
Child of dawn, can't leave the night
Oh Lord, please tell this child to take the head
Oh Lord, this child was born to draw the line
Between good and bad
Oh holy child of twilight
You see me on my knees
I ask for power and wisdom
That set my spirit free
Oh Lord, I understood the vision
Dawning in my brain
You want to hear our decision
Or we go down the drain
Child of dawn, the twilight holds you tight
Child of dawn, your bound to keep the night
Child of dawn, the twilight holds you ...
Child of dawn, can't leave the night
Reflects a sparkling light
Night shadows swiftly slip away
And reveal an elflike child
Child of dawn, the twilight holds you tight
Child of dawn, you're bound to keep the night
The child moves like a fairy
With hair as white as snow
Its skin of bronze shines beautiful
Its eyes of fire glow
Child of dawn, the twilight holds you tight
Child of dawn, can't leave the night
Oh Lord, please tell this child to take the head
Oh Lord, this child was born to draw the line
Between good and bad
Oh holy child of twilight
You see me on my knees
I ask for power and wisdom
That set my spirit free
Oh Lord, I understood the vision
Dawning in my brain
You want to hear our decision
Or we go down the drain
Child of dawn, the twilight holds you tight
Child of dawn, your bound to keep the night
Child of dawn, the twilight holds you ...
Child of dawn, can't leave the night
