Let the sun rise up the Eastern sky
Let the sunshine in the morning hit my eye
And one day when I will see it I will cry
Hope that this will be before I'll die
I ask the Lord to tell me why I cannot see the sun up high
Why do I feel so all alone why must I have a heart of stone
Let the sun rise up the Eastern sky
Let the sunshine in the morning hit my eye
And one day when I will see it I will cry
Hope that this will be before I'll die
My job means anything to me that is why I can't be free
Fear that my life will end and I didn't see the sunrise in the sky
Let the sun rise up the Eastern sky
Let the sunshine in the morning hit my eye
And one day when I will see it I will cry
Hope that this will be before I'll die
If I travel on a train then an idea hits my brain
Could I do this with my feet that is really what I'd need
I can't hear a bird that sings or the church bell that rings
I can't hear the snow or wood crunch and crackle beneath my foot
Let the sun rise up the Eastern sky
Let the sunshine in the morning hit my eye
And one day when I will see it I will cry
Hope that this will be before I'll die
The best would be I'd loose my gold only my true love I could hold
I could stand all the heat or cold and in contentment I'd grow old
Let the sun rise up the Eastern sky
Let the sunshine in the morning hit my eye
And one day when I will see it I will cry
Hope that this will be before I'll die
