 Like a seed - li-ing in the clay,

 when the su - n's first gol-den ray
.  7   -8 8. .... -8  7  7  -6 6.... ....
 marks the brea - ki-ing of the day,
.7.-8  8   -8. 7  -7  7.... ..
 I am turn-ing to the light.

 There's a new day dawn-ing bri-i-ight.
.-8...7  -8... 8. 7  -6  7.... 
 Oh, I'm turn-ing to the light.

[V2]
 Not so very long ago,
 I lay covered by the snow
 with no sign of spring in sight.
 Now, I'm turning to the light

[C1]

[V3]
 Like a Robin in the spring,
 when the dew is glistening,
 I will raise my voice and sing.
 I am turning to the light

[C1]
