Dawn Is A Feeling Lyrics
Dawn is a feeling,
A beautiful ceiling.
The smell of grass
Just makes you pass
Into a dream.
You're here today,
No future fears,
This day will last
A thousand years
If you want it to.
You look around you,
Things they astound you
So breathe in deep,
You're not asleep,
Open your mind.
You're here today,
No future fears,
This day will last
A thousand years
If you want it to.
Do you understand
That all over this land
There's a feeling?
In minds far and near
Things are becoming clear
With a meaning.
Now that you're knowing
Pleasure starts flowing.
It's true life flies
Faster than eyes
Could ever see.
You're here today.
No future fears.
This day will last
A thousand years
If you want it to.
A beautiful ceiling.
The smell of grass
Just makes you pass
Into a dream.
You're here today,
No future fears,
This day will last
A thousand years
If you want it to.
Things they astound you
So breathe in deep,
You're not asleep,
Open your mind.
No future fears,
This day will last
A thousand years
If you want it to.
That all over this land
There's a feeling?
In minds far and near
Things are becoming clear
With a meaning.
Pleasure starts flowing.
It's true life flies
Faster than eyes
Could ever see.
No future fears.
This day will last
A thousand years
If you want it to.

'Dawn Is A Feeling' could be about childhood. Days of Future Passed is a concept album and each song reflects on a different moment in a person's lifetime. Dawn is the beginning, in this case, childhood.
"You look around you, Things they astound you So breathe in deep, You're not asleep, Open your mind.
You're here today, No future fears, This day will last A thousand years If you want it to."
Children's days seem longer than that of adults. They have more time to explore, learn and play. Each day can last "a thousand years".
The lyrics might also double as a metaphor for mindfulness and taking the time to appreciate what you have.
Deep stuff and way ahead of its time.
@mo10654667 Absolutely correct. And it\'s more clear if you consider the next song on the album that follows this one, "The Morning: Another Morning", which makes it more explicit:\r\n\r\n"Balloons flying, children sighing\r\nWhat a day to go kite flying\r\nBreezes cool, away from school\r\nCowboys fighting out a duel\r\n\r\nTime seems to stand quite still\r\nIn a child\'s world it always will"\r\n\r\nDawn is a feeling is the moment when the dawn breaks and a child wakes up. Then "Morning..." is the child\'s morning.\r\n...

"The smell of grass just makes you pass into a dream." He's smoking a jay at dawn after staying up all night.
@ground_control Just because it's from the 60's, doesn't have to mean every reference has to do with drugs. I've actually thought this before, but it seems to me that it wouldn't jibe with the rest of the album.

The theme here is: A life, birth until death. Along the way, there's nature, childhood, play, love, maturity, and old age.

In my opinion, drugs are simply too specific for the macro view this album attempts to portray.
