Dawn breaks silence... of a fainted lullaby.
[Rhythm fig. 1]
Day breaks the eyelid... of a song sung in my eye
Chorus:
D D#5 D Cadd9 G7 C
Rise, rise'n shine, a new day is coming.
Rise, rise in time, for everything under the sun.
D D/F# G7 Cadd9
And when you see a south wind blow, forecasting, you will know
E7 G7
a hot day will be on the way (Foolish one)
D D/F# G7
You analyze the earth and the sky, I ask you why you
Cadd9 E7 G7
can't analyze the signs of the present time.
Instrumental break:
