Rise and Shine

[Chorus]
We've been down in the valley much too long
We've been down in a poverty also long (Yeah)
We've been down in captivity much too long
We've been down in humility also long

[Verse 1]
So, rise and shine
An' win your liberation
For, now's the time
When all nations must be free (So)
Rise and shine
Restore your strength and power
Waste no more time
Remember your history

[Chorus]
We've been down in a sufferation much too long
We've been down in humiliation also long
We've been down in a condemnation much too long
We've been down in a segregation also long

[Verse 2]
So, rise and shine
As the morning sun that surrounds you
It's international morality time
Where mankind must be born anew (So)
Rise and shine
For the sake of the young generations
To win hearts and minds
To brotherhood and unity

[Chorus]
We've been down in the valley much too long
We've been down in a poverty also long (Yeah)
We've been down in captivity much too long
We've been down in humility and also long
We've been down in a sufferation much too long
We've been down in a tribulation also long (Yeah)
We've been down in a condemnation much too long
An' we've been down in a seggregation also long (Yeah, yeah)
We've been down in the valley much too long
We've been down in a poverty also long (Yeah)
We've been down in captivity much too long
We've been down in humility and also long

[Outro]
So, rise and shine
An' win your liberation
