VERSE 1   Tired of these lonely nights   Lost inside this maze of mine   What I wouldn't give for just a glimpse of light      I've seen every shade of pain, felt every drop of rain   How I'd like to start again like a newborn babe   Rise like the sun and      CHORUS   Shine, put behind the past   This chapter is done and I'm through at last   The east is calling, the day is dawning   And I'm awakening, rise and shine      VERSE 2   Gripped by fear, my mind clouded   Like Thomas I had doubted   That anyone could be new again      Then the horizon came with the sky aflame   And I knew that I would never, ever be the same   Gonna take my place and      CHORUS   Shine, put behind the past   This chapter is done and I'm through at last   The east is calling, the day is dawning   And I'm awakening      Rise and shine, put behind the past   This chapter is done and I'm through at last   The east is calling, the day is dawning   And I'm awakening, rise and shine      BRIDGE   Well, I know I'm not the only one   I've seen the light of a thousand stars start to shine      VAMP   Rise and shine, rise and shine (repeat)
