Steppenwolf - Rise & Shine Lyrics
Words and music by John Kay and Michael WilkIt used to be when things weren't rightI do my share and join the fightAnd would surely stand and speak my mindThen I got lost along the wayI spent my time chasing my own tailBut I am here to say: I'm back to stayFor I've been searching for the man I used to beI found him waiting, alive and wellAnd he was screaming back at me"Rise and Shine, show your colorNow's the time, raise your handRise and Shine, join your brotherDraw the line, take a stand"I told my friend my change of heartHe wished me well with my new startBut then he turned away and slowly said:"You know this world is such a messI'm tired of trying to help, I guess"I said: "well, what you give is what you'll getSomewhere inside you, lives the fighter I once knewThe battle's raging, it's never overIt's calling me, it's calling you""Rise and Shine, show your colorNow's the time, raise your handRise and Shine, join your brotherDraw the line, take a stand" 1989 Black Leather Music, Inc.
