about

This song features the dawn chorus of Tui and Korimako recorded on Tiritiri Matangi Island, New Zealand.

All profits from the album go to the non-profit organisation The Supporters of Tiritiri Matangi Inc, the volunteer group helping with conservation on the island where Henika made the majority of her field recordings.

lyrics

Wake up
Open your eyes
Greet the glorious sunrise
Listen, can you hear it?
The song we're singing
Can you feel it?
Made it through another night
Celebrate the morning light
All is well, everything's all right
We come together as one

Join the dawn chorus
Praise the sun
Praise the light of dawn
Rise up high
A new day has come

Sing loud
Make sure you're heard
High above every other bird
Be proud
You've earned the right
Fit for survival, fight or flight
Made it through another night
Celebrate the morning light
All is well, everything's all right
Come on, let's have some fun

Join the dawn chorus
Praise the sun
Praise the light of dawn
Rise up high
A new day has come

In the dead of night
Darkness was all around us
We never gave up the fight
We're survivors, we are strong
We were born to sing this song

Join the dawn chorus
Praise the sun
Praise the light of dawn
Rise up high
A new day has come
