Morning Light

From album: 
The Underliving

Music and Lyrics by Priscilla Hernandez

The original version of this song was written in the 90s as a child scared of Night Horrors, it has several unofficial releases in compilations but it was rescued in its final form for my second album The Underliving (2011) practically the way it was written as a child.

Lyrics: 

Dry your eyes, oh lost child,
No one heard you cry
Hold still, time might ease
that weight upon your heart

Night can trick you when darkness brings
that old forgotten fear
It drinks you to the marrow, a load that doesn't allow
your feet to run away
And lies spread on lies, but no one seems to care,
at least it looks that way...
I know the sun will rise, and it will shine the same
for sinners and for saints...

Oh Morning Light ! Don´t delay!
I pray for all the souls in doom
oh Morning light don’t delay
I pray for all the souls to bloom

I guess I have to learn
the lessons life may bring
the way that things can turn
Face your fate
even if it's unfair
there's no one you can blame

And lies spread on lies
and no one seems to care
at least it looks that way...
I know the sun will rise, and it will shine the same
for sinners and for saints...

oh Morning Light... don't delay!

Lyrics translation: 

Seca tus lágrimas, oh niña perdida, nadie te oyó llorar
Mantente firme, puede que el tiempo alivie este peso en tu corazón


La noche puede engañarme cuando la oscuridad trae ese viejo miedo olvidado que me sorbe hasta la médula, un peso que no permite
que mis pies puedan huir

(estribillo)
Y las mentiras se crecen en mentiras, pero a nadie parece importarle,
al menos así parece...
Sé que el sol volverá a brillar, y lo hará con la misma intensidad
para los pecadores que para los santos...

Oh luz de la mañana (rezo por todas las almas en tinieblas)
Oh luz de la mañana (rezo para que todas las almas salgan a la luz) ¡no te retrases!

Sé que debo aprender, las lecciones que la vida puede traer,
el modo en que las cosas pueden torcerse
Enfréntate a tu destino
incluso si es injusto
no hay nadie a quien puedas culpar

Y las mentiras se crecen en mentiras (repetir estribillo)

Oh luz de la mañana...¡no te retrases!
