Lyrics

When

She will go out in the yard
Holdin' her small daughter in her arms
Above the line of the tress
Above the end of the street
She will see it risin'

She will see it risin'

Gold ball, large as a giant
Planet startin' to lift up over ours
She will go out in the yard
Holdin' her daughter
Lookin' at it rise

Glow, blossom and rise
