Silent Sunlight

sung by Parkinson Lane Singers

SILENT SUNLIGHT

La ilaha illallah
La ilaha illallah

Silent sunlight welcome in,

there is work I must now begin,
All my dreams have blown away.
And the children wait to play,
They'll soon remember things to do,
When the heart is young

and the night is done

and the sky is blue.

La ilaha illallah
La ilaha illallah

Morning song bird sail away,
Lend a tune to another day,
Bring your wings and choose a roof,
Sing a song of love and truth.
We'll soon remember if you do,
When all things were tall,
And our friends were small,
And the world was new.

La ilaha illallah
La ilaha illallah

Sleepy horses heave away,
Put your backs to the golden hay,
Don't ever look behind at the work you've done,
For your work has just begun.
There’ll be the evening in the end,
But till that time arrives,
You can rest your eyes,
And begin again.

La ilaha illallah
La ilaha illallah
