Little children do not worry cause you still got lots of times

There's no need in walking backwards turn around and rise and shine

If your load always seems heavy and you're always left behind

Pick yourself up from the ground and jump right back and rise and shine

Rise and shine in the early morning shine your light off through the day

Makes no difference what they tell you stand right up and have your say

Cause the good Lord said he loved you and through him you're strict you're fine

Even though the world may use you turn around and rise and shine

Look at how they did to Jesus while they nailed him to the cross

But he did up there on calvary so the world would not be lost

So don't matter how they treat you if they slap you in the face

Just remember Jesus loves you on that cross he took your place

Rise and shine in the early morning...

Rise and shine in the early morning...
