Rise and Shine

(Carl Perkins)



Little children do not worry

'Cause you still got lots of times

There's no need in walking backwards

Turn around and rise and shine.



If your load always seems heavy

And you're always left behind

Pick yourself up from the ground

And jump right back and rise and shine.



Rise and shine in the early morning

Shine your light off through the day

Makes no difference what they tell you

Stand right up and have your say.



'Cause the good Lord said he loved you

And through him you're strict, you're fine

Even though the world may use you

Turn around and rise and shine.

Look at how they did to Jesus

While they nailed him to the cross

But he did up there on calvary

So the world would not be lost.



So don't matter how they treat you

If they slap you in the face

Just remember Jesus loves you

On that cross he took your place.



Rise and shine in the early morning

Shine your light off through the day

Makes no difference what they tell you

Stand right up and have your say.



'Cause the good Lord said he loved you

And through him you're strict, you're fine

Even though the world may use you

Turn around and rise and shine.



Rise and shine in the early morning

Shine your light off through the day

Makes no difference what they tell you

Stand right up and have your say.



'Cause the good Lord said he loved you

And through him you're strict, you're fine

Even though the world may use you

Turn around and rise and shine...
