Arise

Arise, awake O you who are asleep!

Look, it’s the break of dawn

The long night of misery is drawing to a close

The sun is bringing the glorious morn

Wring not your hands in despair any more,

Pick up your axes and take your charge

Everything is illumined everywhere again

On the horizon, the sun looms large

The road winds on up the hills

Down the valleys, by the streams

Move we must, move on this road

Travel to fulfill our life’s dreams
