Rise and shine little one
this is not your home
you best be on your way
get to creeping along those dusty floors
Yea, up and adam now
sure to be steady with that creaking door
careful not to stir the sleeping moon
that been looming long as you have known
This child has some kinda faith
yet she never know no god or no home
Uprise and shine
steady as she goes
Rise and shine little one
this is not your story
your best to leave all that night behind you
get to chasing all your morning glory
Pins and needles now
in light of the new day before you
but you can feel that breath on your neck
"stay the night" he implores you
This child has some kinda faith
yet she never know no god or no home
Uprise and shine
steady as she go
The time has come for you to rise up
beyond his reach
and that of the evening and all she's been hiding
it's time, little one, that you seek...
This child has some kinda faith
yet she never know no god or no home
Uprise and shine
steady as she go
Rise and shine little one
this is not your home
you best be on your way
get to walking toward that horizon
