To the children do not worry
Cause you've still got lots of time
There's no need in walkin backwards
Turn around and rise and shine
If your load always seems heavy
And your always left behind
Take your step up from the ground
Jump right back and rise and shine
Rise and shine in the early mornin
Shine your light all through the day
Makes no difference what they tell you
Stand right up and have your say
Cause the Good Lord said he Loves you
And through Him His strength you'll find
Even though the world abused you
Get up now and rise and shine
(Oh oh oh)Look how they did poor Jesus
They nailed Him to a Cross
But He died up there on calvary
So you and I would not be lost
No matter how they treat you
If they slap you in the face
Remember Jesus Loves you
And on the Cross He took your place
Rise and shine in the early morin
Shine your light all through the day
Makes no difference what they tell you
Stand right up and have your say
Cause the Good Lord said He loves you
And through Him His strength you'll find
Even though the world abused you
Get up now and rise and shine
Rise and shine in the early mornin
Shine your light all through the day
Makes no difference what they tell you
Stand right up and have your say
Cause the Good Lord said He Loves you
And through Him His strength you'll find
Even though the world abused you
Get up now and rise and shine
Even though the world abused you
Get up and rise and shine
