Текст песни Dream Dawn (Agboola Shadare) с переводом

As they sat outside the city gate, beset with the billowing waves of despair

As they considered their fate

Four lepers, we are told prepare themselves to die

For what other possibilities could their future hold

They have been used and abused

Refused and confused

Dejected, rejected and of course ejected from the community they once called

family and friend

So they looked at their situation and considered their plight

All appeared so bleak with ne’er a shred of light

As if their condition were not enough with the dreaded disease of decay poised

to snuff the very life from their broken frames

Ahh! That they had survived this long was to no credit of their own

For now the Syrian army had laid siege to the city

Surrounding it on every side

They had cut off every route of supply

Thus every source of food was denied

What are we to do with all that we are going through?

Life it seems to hold nothing more than an appointment with death

Yes death!

But wait

Hold it a moment

Don’t resign to despair cold grip

For there is yet a possibility beyond despair

Why sit we here until we die?

For if we go back into the city the famine will kill us

But if we wait here we will die anyway

But if we go into the enemies camp

Who can tell?

Perhaps we may live, or perhaps we may die

But suppose,

What if

You see suddenly it all becomes clear

The possibility of salvation was not far but actually quite near

Even if we eventually die

The prospect of a miracle was certainly worth a try

And so the four lepers gathered their feeble limbs about themselves

And struggled to their feet as they painfully inched their way to the Syrian

camp

Uncertain as to whether they will live

Or whether they will die

Now the Bible says it was at twilight

That nebulous period when it is too dark to be morning and too light to be night

It is the turning period of your night time

When the heavy cloak for darkness must be shred by the first rays of light that

herald the rising of the sun

It is the demarcation between pain and anguish of the darkest moments of your

life

And the beginning of a refreshing season of unprecedented blessings

It is the beginning of a new day

When the impossible suddenly becomes possible

It is the dawn of your dream

Your dream dawn

The story of the lepers ends with a great victory

But the miracle of their deliverance is hardly a mystery

For God has numbered your days

Your times and seasons are in his hands

The thoughts he has towards you are thoughts of good and not of evil

Child of God, you have a destiny is your father

The God who cannot lie, has spoken a word over your life

You might be down right now just like the four lepers

You might even be in the pit of despair

But fret not longer

Even though you think there are no more possibilities for you

I have good news for you

The good news, is that your best days are still ahead of you

You are better than this

There’s more in front of you than there is behind you

God has a plan for your life

And if you just take one step forward

You will discover that the very thing you are afraid of, is actually afraid of

you

You’ve been down but God is going lift you up

You’ve been in a mess but God is about to pull you out

You’ve been languishing in a pit but you are about to move into the palace

You’ve been in a grave of despair, but child of God, you are coming out

You have a destiny in God

Your miracle is just beginning

This is a new day in your life

Get ready

Brace yourself

Pull out your tent pegs

Poise your chariots

Because it is your time

Your dream is about to begin

Welcome to your dream dawn

I feel God

I feel a shout down in my soul

I feel like preaching

Arise and shine for your light is come and the glory of God is risen upon you

Won’t you come, won’t you come to the brightness of your shinning

For God is about to lift you like you’ve never been lifted before

Something is about to happen!

This is your dream dawn.
