There’s something in the air
Doesn’t anybody care anymore?
There’s something on the breeze
Forcing me to my knees.

There’s something in the way that the
Sky went dim today
Was it something in the night
That pulled you from my side

CHORUS:

Light the beacons as a warning
To say the time has come
Send the smoke signals before morning
(it’s not too late)
Let everyone know this is the Dawn Song
The Time Has Come!

I feel there’s something in the way
You never called me back today
Is it something someone said?
Cause I see the vultures circling my bed.

There’s something in the sounds
I hear echoing around
They carry the burden of foresight
Do they tell of the coming absence of light

BRIDGE

And I hope it’s a thousand years
Before I cry these tears again
And I can feel – the time is near

CHORUS:

Light the beacons as a warning
To say the time has come
Send the smoke signals before morning
Let everyone know this is the Dawn Song
