Lyrics:
Turn your eyes to the east,
The shadows are starting to fade.
Come down from the trees,
Drink the sun before it rains.
And all around,
Everything is starting to wake,
It all just: shimmers, shimmer, shimmers back to life,
Shimmers, shimmers, shimmers back to life,
Shimmers,shimmers, shimmers back to life.

And though the storm may come tonight,
The stars will shine their light.
Through the wind and rain keep your eyes to the skies,
Light will come again.
Though the ocean rages, dawn will bring Golden Light, Golden Light...

Turn your eyes to the east,
The shadows are starting to fade,
Come down from the trees,
Drink the sun before it rains.

An absolutely outstanding piece of music performed with mesmerising skill. Melissa so perfectly captures the meaning and emotion within the lyrics and her voice is a pure joy to listen to. The production is excellent. A song you can most definitely be proud of.

Thank you all for the kind words. I sent Melissa the link so she could read your comments as well. Sorry about the late response but the forums aren't emailing me like I told them to... :\ Again... Thank you!

Welcome to the forum.  This is the second "new to us" female vocalist that I heard up here today.  Both sing beautifully. That's great because I love female vocals.  This is quite a project.  Beautiful.
