I told myself I’d get up with the sunrise
I told myself I’d get up with the sun
And I would be ready – shake sleep from my eyes
Put my feet on the ground put the positive on
Though the morning has chosen to be very chilly
Still the sky is open to letting the warm
Not covering over with clouds or with rainy
Allowing the daisies to follow the sun
And the commuter cars with their tired sighs
Are revving their engines just to outrun
All the shouters and downers who just criticize
Towards the uplift of sunrise and the hope of the sun
