I feel the breeze in the air
I see the colors everywhere, I do
(Yay yay, yay yay)
It all comes from the sunshine
Shining down from the sky, it's true (what we do)
It's the big brand new (yay, yay)

I'm waking up to you
and I feel the warming
Sky is looking blue
And the clouds are gone
I see the happy there in you
It's why I'm calling to (yay, yay)
Let the shine come through

RISING SUN (oh, oh)
Shining down on everything
And everyone I love (yay, yay)
RISING SUN (oh, oh)
Brightens up our world and
Gives us what we all grow from

Uh uh uh uh oh (I can to be with the rising sun)
Uh uh uh uh oh
(Whole new day and it's just begun)
(Hey, hey, take it away)

Okay, when I wake up to that bright blue sky, sun hits my eyes, everything is alright
Instantly I feel connected when the whole world shines
Feeling so brand new when that sun shines through
Seeing happiness in you makes me light up too
What was once grey skies suddenly turns blue
Feel the breeze pass it on to a heart near you
Plant a seed watch it grow when the sun shines through
Uh uh uh uh oh (I can be with the rising sun)
Uh uh uh uh oh
(Whole new day and it's just begun)
(Hey, hey, gonna take it away)

We're just citizens natural born
To a world we're spinning on, it's true
(You can be, you can see)
We're a bold breakthrough
A family to a native sun
We got the light and
We're feeling strong and new
(Rising up, shining down)
It's what the day can do

And we're waking up to you (hey, hey)
And I feel the warming
Sky is looking blue (hey, hey)
And the clouds are gone
I see the happy there in you (hey, hey)
It's why I'm calling to (nah, nah...)
Let the shine come through

RISING SUN (whoa oh, whoa oh)
Shining down on everything
On everyone I love (yay, yay)
RISING SUN (whoa oh, whoa oh)
Brightens up our world and
Gives us what we all grow from (yay, yay)

Uh uh uh uh oh (you can be with the rising sun)
Uh uh uh uh oh
(What we do when we're havin' fun)
Oh oh yay yay yay yay
