Lyrics
Stanza one- Before I rise, blessings overtake, before new dawning breaks the sky, the old I bid adieu. When new waves kiss the shore, pursuit of dreams I want the more; all this I purpose in my heart, before I rise.
Stanza two- Before I rise, direction I must have, golden horizon is a sign, there is no time to waste. When new waves kiss the shore, pursuit of dreams I want the more; all this I seek and now disclose before I rise.
Stanza three- Before I rise, I must gain perspective, a noble thought within my mind, come forth, the world awaits. When new waves (ah---) kiss the shore, pursuit of dreams I want the more; can't for night, all this I see, before I rise.
