This Lovibond May Rowanwood song from the Rowanwood music catalogue is an uplifting folk-pop track that promotes resilience and joy through playful lyrics and bright, acoustic-driven arrangement.
How can I sing of happiness?
Without sentimental trite?
How can I express graceful bliss
Merriment joy, delight
I’ll play the world a happy tune
With a sunny lilt to start
I’ll make up words as I go along
And sing them from my heart
And I tell you this truly
Even when life seems dark
It’s far better to rise and shine
Than to be torn apart
So rise and shine
Dance and play
Rise and shine
Every day
Just rise and shine
Woodland creatures gather round me
The sun shines warm upon my face
Rainbows over flowered valleys
I’ve entered in a magic space
I’ll sing to you of kitten cats
Puppy dogs, and children’s play
Laughter shared between good friends
Blithe times, and family holidays
And I tell you this truly
Even when life seems dark
It’s far better to rise and shine
Than to be torn apart
So rise and shine
Dance and play
Rise and shine
Every day
Just rise and shine
If you choose to come along
I’ll extend my hand to you
Wear your smile, sing your song
Any clothes will do
I know I may sound silly
Batty, daft, round the bend
Perhaps you think I’ve lost my mind
But I tell you this my friend
Whatever happens in this world
Even when life seems dark
It’s far better to rise and shine
Than to be torn apart
So rise and shine
Dance and play
Rise and shine
Every day
Just rise and shine
And here’s a word or two to think about
While you’re at home or out and about
Blessed, blissful, blithe
Just to name a few
Merry, sunny, light
Are wishes I cast at you
Lighten up, chill out
Put bad baggage down
Set your eyes, towards the skies
Get up from the ground
Dust off the gloom
Forsake the doom
And choose to rise and shine
Rise and shine
