Little children do not worry,
cause you still got lots of time
There's no need in walking backwards,
turn around and rise and shine
He loved you, and through
Him you strength you'll find
And even though the world may use you,
get up now, go rise and shine
Rise and shine in the early morning
Shine your light all through the day
Makes no difference how they treat you
Stand right up and have your say
Him your strength you'll find
And even though the world may use you
Get up now, go rise and shine
Look at how they done poor
Calvary, so the world would not be lost
So no matter how they treat you,
if they slap you in your face
and on the cross he took your place
Shout, yell, and mourn him,
and you'll ride all through the day
Makes no difference how they treat you,
stand right up and have your say
He loved you, and through
Him you strength will find
And even though the world may use you,
get up now, the rising sun
Look at how they done poor
beg for the rich man's crown
But the rich man, high and mighty,
he refused and gave to none
Now he's breaking bread with
Jesus in that large house up above
Because the good folk plainly tells us
Lazarus learned to live on his own
Rise and shine in the early morning
Shine your light all through the day
Stand right up and have your say
Lord will say he loves you
And even though the world
Rise and shine until the mornin'
Shine your light all through the day
Make no difference how they treat you
Stand right up and have your say
Him you strength you'll find
And even though the world may use you
Get up now and rise and shine
