Lyrics

I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear
I learn by going where I have to go
We think by feeling, what is there to know?
I hear my being dance from ear to ear
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow
Of those so close beside me, which are you?
God bless the Ground, I shall walk softly there
And learn by going where I have to go
Light takes the tree but who can tell us how?
The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair
I wake to sleep, I wake to sleep, I wake to sleep...
I wake to sleep and take my waking slow
Great Nature has another thing to do
To you and me, so take the lively air
And, lovely, learn by going where to go
Lovely, learn by going where to go
The shaking keeps me steady, I should know
What falls away is always and is near
I wake to sleep, I wake to sleep and take my waking slow
I wake to sleep and take my waking slow
I learn by going where I have to go
I wake to sleep
I wake to sleep
I wake to sleep
