Lyrics

Wake up, sun, it’s a brand new day.

Good bye, moon, you can go a way.

Rise up, sun, shine your gold en beams up on me when I play.

Danc ing beams all a round, flick er ing with out a sound.

Shafts of light sift through the trees, mak ing shad ows with the leaves.

Wake up, sun, it’s a brand new day.

Warm the earth so I can play.

Not a sin gle cloud goes by, as the sun shines down on my town from the crys tal clear blue sky!
