John Kay - Rise and Shine lyrics

Your rating:


Words and music by John Kay and Michael Wilk



It used to be when things weren't right

I do my share and join the fight

And would surely stand and speak my mind

Then I got lost along the way

I spent my time chasing my own tail

But I am here to say: I'm back to stay

For I've been searching for the man I used to be

I found him waiting, alive and well

And he was screaming back at me



"Rise and Shine, show your color

Now's the time, raise your hand

Rise and Shine, join your brother

Draw the line, take a stand"



I told my friend my change of heart

He wished me well with my new start

But then he turned away and slowly said:

"You know this world is such a mess

I'm tired of trying to help, I guess"

I said: "well, what you give is what you'll get

Somewhere inside you, lives the fighter I once knew

The battle's raging, it's never over

It's calling me, it's calling you"



"Rise and Shine, show your color

Now's the time, raise your hand

Rise and Shine, join your brother

Draw the line, take a stand"
