There Is No Night

The more I know
The more I wonder
From the setting of the sun
To the dawning of the day
And the questions to be asked
Are beyond number
Only this much for certain I can say
There is no night, but longing for the day

Where is the morning that will lead me to the day
And where is the sweetheart who will take the pain away
And I am a dreamer and wonderer by trade
How little I’ve found, how little I’ve made

But the more I know
The more I wonder
From the setting of the sun
To the dawning of the day
And the questions to be asked
Are beyond number
Only this much for certain I can say
There is no night, but longing for the day

And where is the warm place
To keep me from the cold
And where are my children
To give me life when I grow old
A builder of bridges to the beyond, to the unseen
How little I’ve found, just where have I been

But the more I know
The more I wonder
From the setting of the sun
To the dawning of the day
And the questions to be asked
Are beyond number
Only this much for certain I can say
There is no night, but longing for the day
