They locked him away.
Into the shed.
He was too loud.
Heralding life.
Proclaiming dawn of a new day.

At 3 in the morning.

Be the cockerel!
Claim your life.
Herald the day.
A new beginning.
A new chance to be.
Every morning.

Deo concedente.

Say it out loud.
I am here.
I am still here.
So I shall truly live.
Another day.

This day that I claim.
