I Rise 'n Shine

Dawn wakes the silence
of a fainted lullaby
Day breaks the eyelid
from a song sung in my eye

Night rests in peace
as the sun mourns the sky
All's accounted for sheep
over a horizon's I

RISE, RISE 'N SHINE
A NEW DAY IS COMING
RISE, RISE IN TIME
FOR EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN

And when you see
a south wind blow
Forecasting, you will know
a hot day, will be on the way
(Foolish one)
You analyze
the earth and the sky
I ask you why
you can't analyze the signs
of the present time

I had a dream
not unlike the one from old
Of a man king
whose head was made of gold
Stand castles of sand
weather the sundials rise 'n fall
Chasing wind through your hands
'til water runs dry the well

DREAM, DANIEL, DREAM
FOR WHAT'S YET TO COME
SEE, DANIEL, SEE
FOR EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN

And in the West
a cloud appears
For shadows of
a coming shower near
Oh, so near
(Hypocrites)
You analyze
the earth and the sky
I ask you why
you can't analyze the signs
of the present time

Vanity
Yes, all is vanity
Vanity
Yes, all's futility

For one that dies
another's born
Where laughter's heard
comforters mourn
There's a time for
everything

A song for love
even abhor
An olive branch
or winter's war
There's a time for
EVERYTHING, UNDER THE SUN
UNDER THE SUN

RISE, RISE 'N SHINE
A NEW DAY IS COMING
RISE, RISE IN TIME
FOR EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN

A NEW DAY IS COMING...
