Waldorf Ska Project - Rise And Shine Lyrics

I used to dream in shades of gray
Caught in a world that lost its spark
But I found light in a brand-new day
And painted hope across the dark
No longer chained to what has been
I've learned to dance in the rain
With every step, I'm breaking free
Building a future I can see
The sun breaks through the shadows
A warmth I've never known
I can feel the heartbeat
Of a life that's all my own
Now I'm dancing through the streets of a life I've just begun
Lost the weight of yesterday, and now I'm chasing the sun
And the skies open wide as I sing my own sweet song
In the echoes of tomorrow, I know where I belong
I see the world with brighter eyes
Every moment, a new start
The colors shine, the music flies
There's joy in every beat of my heart
No more looking back in fear
The future's calling, loud and clear
With every turn, a brand-new chance
To live, to love, to laugh, to dance
The wind is at my back now
The road ahead is bright
I can hear the laughter
As I step into the light
Now I'm dancing through the streets of a life I've just begun
Lost the weight of yesterday, and now I'm chasing the sun
And the skies open wide as I sing my own sweet song
In the echoes of tomorrow, I know where I belong
Oh, we rise, and we shine
We're living on borrowed time
In the moments, in the smiles
We'll go that extra mile
With a rhythm in our veins
We'll break through all the chains
To a place where love will grow
Where the sun will always glow
Now I'm dancing through the streets of a life I've just begun
Lost the weight of yesterday, and now I'm chasing the sun
And the skies open wide as I sing my own sweet song
In the echoes of tomorrow, I know where I belong
In the light, we find our way
Guided by the warmth of day
When the night turns into dawn
We'll rise again and carry on
