Early Morning Sunshine

As I look around
I see the searchin' even in the youngest eyes
They're tryin' to understand
And though I've done some livin'
I find that I'm still searchin'
Just like a child
In the night

So rise... rise... early morning sunshine
Paint your colors for me everywhere I go
On rise... rise... and light my way
Down the road... through the mountain
And to the open valleys of my home

Livin' every day
Takin' all the time I need to really see
What everything means to me
And sometimes it ain't so easy
To do the things I wanna do
But I still try
Keeps me high

[Chorus]
I know it's up to me
To be the kind person that I want to be
Choosin' my destiny
So I keep on goin'
'Cause I know what I'm feelin'
Is really real
And not a dream

So rise... rise... early morning sunshine
Paint your colors for me everywhere I go
On rise... rise... and light my way
Down the road... through the mountain
And to the open valleys of my home
To the open valleys of my home
