Lyrics Rise & Shine - Steppenwolf

It used to be when things went right
I'd do my share and join the fight
And I would surely stand and speak my mind
Oh yeah
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
Oh yeah

For I've been searching for the man I used to be
I found him waiting alive and well
And he was screaming, "Look 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 get"
Oh yeah

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

Rise and shine
Rise and shine
Rise and shine
Rise and shine

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

Rise and shine
Now's the time
Rise and shine
Draw the line
Rise and shine
Rise and shine
Rise and shine
Rise and shine
Rise and shine
