“One More Sunrise”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
C G Am F
Wake up to another day, the stars fade away,
C G F
In the mirror, it’s me I see,
C G Am F
With dreams and hopes, as vast as the sea.
(Chorus)
G Am F C
One more sunrise, another chance to make it right,
G Am F C
In this crazy world, under the morning light,
G Am F C
One more sunrise, let’s make it count,
G Am F C
With love and music, that’s what life’s about.
(Verse 2)
C G Am F
Walk the path, chase the dream,
C G F
With our song, we set the theme,
C G Am F
For love and peace, in every rhyme,
C G F
In every beat, in perfect time.
(Chorus)
G Am F C
One more sunrise, another day to make it right,
G Am F C
In this mixed-up world, under the morning light,
G Am F C
One more sunrise, let’s make it count,
G Am F C
With love and music, that’s what life’s about.
