Song about the future, change for good is coming!

The sun will rise            


                                     The sun will rise           (again, again)
                                    
                                     no trace of darkness
                                     in the heart of man

                                     And hope will rise          (again, again)
                                    
                                     concepts of peace, all
                                     alive will understand

                                     New day has dawned      (again, again)
                                    
                                     a day star rises 
                                     in the heart of man

                                     The storm was calmed     (again, again)
                                     
                                     the winds of change, put
                                     flowers in our hand

                                     Love takes control            (again, again)
                                     
                                     with sorrow gone, there 
                                     will be no more tears

                                     Peace in our souls             (again, again)
                                     
                                     all badness gone, no more
                                     reason for our fears

                                     You feel God's grace           (again, again)
                                     
                                     the earth restored, again
                                     to a paradise

                                     His warm embrace              (again, again)
                                     
                                     a sweet sensation
                                     you can realize

                                     No shattered dreams           (again, again)
                                     
                                     with eyes wide open
                                     there's so much at stake
                      
                                     Now close your eyes            (and pray, and pray)
                                    
                                     that this brand new world
                                     will be here when you awake
