Lyrics
Verse 1
Your dream is waking as the night sky turns to blue
Reality is rolling in as sunlight fills your room
It's okay, there's nothing to say, just open up your eyes
Chorus
Rise and Shine, today is waiting for you to
Come alive, and give it all ya got, Rise and Shine
Verse 2
Right now a fishin' boat's headin' out to sea from a South Florida cove
a truck driver's movin' 40 tons up a winding mountain road
there's a soldier dodging crossfire in a desert overseas
And in intensive care there's a nurse somewhere saving lives in New York City
Chorus
(repeat)
Bridge
I know you could just lay down 'till lunch rolls around, and I wouldn't blame you
but if you stay there dreamin', y'might miss out on life, all alone, so
Closing Chorus
The world is moving forward now, join the ride, you'll come around
Open up your eyes and see that I need you right here with me
