[Verse 1]
In every life
There's heartache and pain
Some live with sorrow
Some live with shame
Regret and worry
Forever can last
So lay down your burdens
Put them in the past
[Chorus]
And rise and shine (rise and shine)
There's a new day a-dawning
The voice that you hear
Is your soul a-calling
Don't wait till tomorrow
Lord knows it's time
To rise and shine (rise and shine)
Rise and shine
[Verse 2]
When night falls around you
And the dark closes in
You can't find the answer
And you can't see the end
Just look to the east
The lights breaking through
When morning has broken
All things are made new
[Chorus]
And rise and shine (rise and shine)
There's a new day a-dawning
The voice that you hear
Is your soul a-calling
Don't wait till tomorrow
Lord knows it's time
To rise and shine (rise and shine)
Rise and shine
To rise and shine (rise and shine)
Rise and shine
