Rise Into The Sun

Intro

Come on now

Yeah, yeah

I can feel it turning

I can feel it coming on

Verse 1

I woke up with dust on my Sunday shoes,

A heart full of thunder and a head full of blues.

Been walking round town with a chain on my name,

But the morning broke open and swallowed the rain.

I was talking to shadows, making deals with the night,

Trying to find heaven in a broken streetlight.

Then a voice in the choir came rolling through me,

Said, "Boy, you're not buried, you're only a seed."

Pre-Chorus

So clap your hands if you made it through,

Raise your glass to the old you.

Let the tambourine shake that pain loose,

We were born to break right through.

Chorus

I'm gonna rise into the sun,

Kick down the door and start to run.

All my heavy days are done,

I'm gonna rise, rise into the sun.

I got a fire where the fear once was,

A little bit of faith and a whole lot of love.

Tell everybody I'm not finished, I've begun,

I'm gonna rise, rise into the sun.

Verse 2

I had holes in my pockets, had stones in my soul,

Had a map full of roads that would never lead home.

But the sky split wide like a promise from above,

And the wind started singing with a mouth full of love.

Now the choir's in the alley and the band's on the roof,

Got the whole block shining like a gospel truth.

Every scar on my body turned gold in the light,

Every wrong road brought me to tonight.

Pre-Chorus

So clap your hands if you made it through,

Raise your glass to the old you.

Let the tambourine shake that pain loose,

We were born to break right through.

Chorus

I'm gonna rise into the sun,

Kick down the door and start to run.

All my heavy days are done,

I'm gonna rise, rise into the sun.

I got a fire where the fear once was,

A little bit of faith and a whole lot of love.

Tell everybody I'm not finished, I've begun,

I'm gonna rise, rise into the sun.

Bridge

Roll that stone from the door,

I ain't sleeping anymore.

Let the bells ring out,

Let the lost be found.

If the world gets cold,

We'll be burning gold.

If the road gets rough,

We'll lift each other up.

Gospel Break

Higher, higher, I can feel it now,

Higher, higher, feet don't touch the ground.

Higher, higher, let the darkness run,

Higher, higher, rise into the sun.

Final Chorus

I'm gonna rise into the sun,

Kick down the door and start to run.

All my heavy days are done,

I'm gonna rise, rise into the sun.

I got a fire where the fear once was,

A little bit of faith and a whole lot of love.

Tell everybody I'm not finished, I've begun,

I'm gonna rise, rise into the sun.

Outro

Rise into the sun,

Rise into the sun.

All my heavy days are done,

I'm gonna rise, rise into the sun.
