Sunrise by The Dowling Poole Lyrics

Swallowing solace and salvation from the dregs of a downward spiral
Dwell on the rise of the so-called ‘wise’
As we dumb down to a tribe more primal

Let’s not forget the safety net - the promises to protect and save us
Banish the force - revenge, remorse
I’ll outrun you if it’s the last thing I do

And when I think I’ve won uncertainty reveals itself to me
Oh what to do?

Guess I’ll have to keep slaving on through
While I’m trying to bring on the new
And we can beat this so give me the
Tranquillity and calm of the sunrise

Dictators despair as they declare we’re making waves just to be contrary
We’ll never cower from the power of the fraudulent mercenary

I ain’t no peace-freak but the threat of war kicks down the door
The paisley glow reveals
Just how this flower child really feels
While the world all around me congeals
Like the summer of love in the
Serenity and soul of the sunrise

And faith is near impossible
When all seems lost - implausible
And the optimist wins through

Now there’s only one thing I can do
I’m always trying to bring on the new
And maybe nobody’s dreams will come true
So I’ll keep moving on
To the tranquillity and calm
The serenity and soul
The integrity and trust of the few
