Woke up this morning and rolled out of bed

Kissed my baby on her pretty head

Opened the blinds and let the sun in

Rise and shine all over again (x2)

 

Turned on the stove and grabbed a frying pan

Come and get them while you can

It's better on the sunny side

Rise and shine all over again (x2)

 

[Chorus]

Gotta rise up and take on a brand new day

Let the morning breeze blow your blues away

Gotta stretch out and set your mind at ease

And do damn well whatever you please, as long as it's good, whatever you please

 

Life's a walk in the park or so they say

When nothing's up and in your way

Most of the time it's in your head

Rise and shine all over again (x2)

 

People they come and some they go

Just hope they learn to love and grow

Just make the best of what you can

Rise and shine all over again (x2)

 

We should treat ourselves oh so kind

Give a little more than all you find

Grateful for another day

Rise and shine all over again (x2)

 

[Chorus]

 

RISE AND SHINE
