Title: “Rivers of Sunrise”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[Em] Woke up to the [C] sound of the [G] city,
[D] Lost in the [Em] rush, looking for [C] something pretty,
[G] Chasing dreams [D] on these worn-out streets,
[Em] Hearts beating [C] fast to our [G] restless beats.

(Chorus)
[G] Rivers of [D] sunrise,
[Em] Running through [C] this endless night,
[G] Guiding us [D] home, when we’ve [C] lost our sight,
[G] Rivers of [D] sunrise, [C] hold us tight.

(Verse 2)
[Em] We’ve got our [C] fears, we’ve got our [G] hopes,
[D] And a suitcase [Em] full of [C] dreams to cope,
[G] With the world [D] that’s sometimes unkind,
[Em] In the end, [C] love’s what we [G] find.

(Chorus)
[G] Rivers of [D] sunrise,
[Em] Through the darkest [C] night, we rise,
[G] Guiding us [D] home, to where our [C] heart lies,
[G] Rivers of [D] sunrise, [C] our sweet surprise.
