[Verse] The sea still sleeps while the gulls take flight A tin whistle whispers to the breaking light The earth hums low beneath my boots A gentle tune The morning breathes It sings in bloom [Chorus] Rise up rise up the day’s begun With hearts of fire and feet that run The wind it calls the waves reply A Celtic dawn beneath the sky [Verse 2] The heather bends as the cliffs stand tall A tapestry woven by the maker of it all Salt on the breeze and a song in the stone The world feels wide but I’m never alone [Chorus] Rise up rise up the day’s begun With hearts of fire and feet that run The wind it calls the waves reply A Celtic dawn beneath the sky [Bridge] Oh the hills they echo a thousand names Oh the rivers carve the timeless frames The tin whistle leads where the sun has shone Oh sing with me through the Celtic dawn [Chorus] Rise up rise up the day’s begun With hearts of fire and feet that run The wind it calls the waves reply A Celtic dawn beneath the sky
