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
Shine your light off through the day
Makes no difference what they tell
You stand right up and have your say
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
