John Orr Franklin - Rise and Shine Lyrics

Awake
In the stillness of the morning
I opened up my eyes
Stirring from the deepest sleep
The sun begins to rise

A new day is dawning
There's magic is in the air
And I can hear her calling
Her voice just down the stair

Now is a ship on which we ride
Sailing out of sleep
Steering for a dream
We rise and shine

Arrive
In this moment of awareness
A song that needs no name
The distant past or a future dream
It's really all the same

With every breath we're taking
Adventures on the sea
And as the waves are breaking
A stardust symphony

Now is a ship on which we ride
Sailing out of sleep
Steering for a dream
We rise and shine

Relax
When the day is done
One more time for sleep
Forever sits in an empty jar
It's written in the stars

Now is a ship on which we ride
Sailing out of sleep
Steering for a dream
We rise and shine
