What is the "Dawn"

that prince used to mention so much in his songs. I've been a big fan for some time but i could never figure out what it is.

The Dawn is the begining of a new day. In other words may you live to see the new day when love and peace will one day rule the earth.

"Welcome 2 the Dawn"

When the things U know are right
are far from what they seem
When the past becomes the future
and time becomes a dream
When the light of God
is the only thing in life that will redeem
Welcome, welcome 2 the dawn
When the voices U hear commands U
2 entertain thee absurd
When U do the action unlocks
thee apocalypse of that you've heard of
When the day lies before U
seems the dakness in a word
Welcome, welcome 2 the dawn

Every pieces a puzzle and every name a clue
Every charge U make is karma
So be careful what U do
Welcome, welcome 2 the dawn

(Welcome 2 the dawn) (Thank U)

Actually in some interview with Prince back in '96 he said something that the DAWN is an awakening of his mind to see things clearly and be able to do what he
wants to do. Don't remember exact comment.

I think the original intention (May U Live 2 See The Dawn) was a reference to the second coming - that was before the prince crap, with the "Welcome 2 The Dawn"

Like many things in Prince's songs, the dawn has a double meaning. It does refer to the second coming, but I think it also refers to "Enligtenment" (which coincidently is another Prince song).
He is using the term to refer to enligtenment, but at the same time he is using chararteristics of the second coming to describe this enligtenment.

Right on.

I guess the second coming is the Christian metaphor for enlightenment - so it all ties in.

the dawn spoken of here is merely the moment of AWARENESS...some people's dawn has not come.
it certainly does not pertain to Jesus, as Welcome to the Dawn is the new day in Princes life, not in Eternity, which is yet to be.

we have seen the new dawn of Princes life.
and if you have made any progresses, Welcome to your own...Dawn that is.
