RISE LIKE THE SUN

It is a cold November day
I seize the morning into my hands
And set it gently into it’s place
The city’s lights have flickered out
As if in surrender to a better way
Will it be a brighter day?

Though winter’s winds blow hard today
The warmth of truth has made it’s play
The cold of November seems far away
For when you finally see the truth
It sends you back to all the joys of youth
A wiser child, a happier man

On a day like this
I can rise to reach my goal
I can burst through clouds
The sun has risen inside my soul
In the evening, I will sing
Of the day I found my wings

Oh, precious morning, you are the truth
You’ve sent me back to all the joys of youth
I won’t forget this day
I see the lies so clearly now
They’ve been exposed since I’ve learned how
To hold the truth like a beacon of light
So, now I’m asking you to stay
Because you are more than just a sunny day
You are the hope within it’s rays

On a day like this, I can rise to reach my goal
I can burst through clouds
The sun has risen inside my soul
In my hand, I hold the key to a new machine
I am my own motive power, pure and clean
And through all the mornings to come
I will rise just like the sun
