Serengeti Dawn

Lyrics

Horizon bends in every direction The grass extends beyond my sight A nyatiti plucks the morning open String by string the dark gives way to light Serengeti dawn the earth remembers its first morning Serengeti dawn the earth remembers its first morning Its first morning Its first morning Giraffes move slow as breathing trees A zebra herd shifts like a wave The lion yawns and shakes the dust From shoulders wider than a grave Standing in a space so wide your eyes forget what walls are for The sunrise paints three hundred sixty degrees of gold Serengeti dawn the earth remembers its first morning Serengeti dawn the earth remembers its first morning Its first morning Its first morning The dust the herds kick up at dawn Hangs golden in the early light Each particle a tiny sun Suspended in its own slow flight The nyatiti falls into a phrase That sunrise and the lyre have shared Since someone first sat in this grass And found a way to play the air
