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
