It used to be when things weren't right   I do my share and join the fight   And would surely stand and speak my mind   Then I got lost along the way   I spent my time chasing my own tail   But I am here to say: I'm back to stay   For I've been searching for the man I used to be   I found him waiting, alive and well   And he was screaming back at me      "Rise and Shine, show your color   Now's the time, raise your hand   Rise and Shine, join your brother   Draw the line, take a stand"      I told my friend my change of heart   He wished me well with my new start   But then he turned away and slowly said:   "You know this world is such a mess   I'm tired of trying to help, I guess"   I said: "well, what you give is what you'll get   Somewhere inside you, lives the fighter I once knew   The battle's raging, it's never over   It's calling me, it's calling you"      "Rise and Shine, show your color   Now's the time, raise your hand   Rise and Shine, join your brother   Draw the line, take a stand"
