Western Sunrise lyrics

[Verse 1: Gil Scott-Heron and Victor Brown]
The world is dark. We look to the horizon
Reflections of the sunset yesterday
‘Cause man is in a state of loss, subjected to an evil force
It hurts so bad, the Sun has stopped to pray

[Verse 2: Gil Scott-Heron and Victor Brown]
An old man in another land is crying
To see his soul reborn in misery
Where wrong is made to seem alright
Where peaceful man is forced to fight
Where mirrors are the source of light to see

[Verse 3: Gil Scott-Heron and Victor Brown]
A sunrise in the Western skies—good morning
A miracle before your eyes unfurled
A sunrise in the Western sky
The seventh angel loudly cries
And we begin to visualize new worlds
A sunrise in the Western sky
The seventh angel loudly cries
And we begin to visualize new worlds
Yeah, a sunrise in the rain
A sunrise in the rain
A sunrise in the rain
