I've seen tears in my mother's eyes
I've felt anger in the working pace of my father's stride
And I wonder why

When all I feel is love inside
When all I feel is love inside

So rise
Rise and shine, my baby
Tomorrow's here
Won't you rise
Rise and shine for me
Wipe away those tears and rise
Rise and shine
Shine for me

If the world is broken
It's just cause hearts get broken
Sticks and stones have broken my bones
But words hurt even more
And I wonder what for

When all I feel is love inside
When all I feel is love inside

So rise
Rise and shine, my baby
Tomorrow's here
Won't you rise
Rise and shine for me
Wipe away those tears and rise
Rise and shine
Shine for me
My baby, my baby, my baby
Won't you rise and shine
My baby, my baby, won't you rise and shine
My baby, my baby, my baby, my baby
Won't you rise and shine
My baby
Rise
