Lyrics:

Turn your eyes to the east,

The shadows are starting to fade.

Come down from the trees,

Drink the sun before it rains.

And all around,

Everything is starting to wake,

It all just: shimmers, shimmer, shimmers back to life,

Shimmers, shimmers, shimmers back to life,

Shimmers,shimmers, shimmers back to life.

And though the storm may come tonight,

The stars will shine their light.

Through the wind and rain keep your eyes to the skies,

Light will come again.

Though the ocean rages, dawn will bring Golden Light, Golden Light...

Turn your eyes to the east,

The shadows are starting to fade,

Come down from the trees,

Drink the sun before it rains.

Definitely an appropriate springtime song. It sounds like waking up in the morning.
