Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Red sky waking Smoke from fires still in the trees We got bills We got bruises We got dust on our knees But that gold light Crawls over the tin-roof line Hits my mama on the doorstep Puts a spark in her tired eyes [Chorus] Morning sun We shout your name (hey!) Burn the dark and bless this day Lift us up We rise We rise With the fire in the morning sky (oh-oh) Morning sun We dance We scream Kick the fear out of our dreams Every color Every life Stays alive in the morning light [Verse 2] Kid on the corner Selling fruit with a crooked grin Sings off-key to the traffic But the joy still cutting in Sweat on my collar But my heart feels cool and clean When that first beam hits my forehead I remember what hope can mean [Chorus] Morning sun We shout your name (hey!) Burn the dark and bless this day Lift us up We rise We rise With the fire in the morning sky (yeah-yeah) Morning sun We dance We scream Kick the fear out of our dreams Every color Every life Stays alive in the morning light [Bridge] So we clap Clap Feet on the ground (hey!) Voices cracking Still we sound loud Let the pain fall Let the drums pound Every sunrise We’re hometown proud [Chorus] Morning sun We shout your name (hey!) Burn the dark and bless this day Lift us up We rise We rise With the fire in the morning sky (woah) Morning sun We dance We scream Kick the fear out of our dreams Hold me close Don’t let me hide Keep me loud in the morning light
