The Sun Will Rise, Again, Again

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 John Derek Hamilton October 12, 2016

Put a melody to it and we'll split the royalties, I have two songs I'm working on, but if you want to join the fun...let's go!
