Verse 1

I like the sunrise 'cause it brings a new day
I like a new day, it brings new hope they say
I like the sunrise blazing in the new sky
Nighttime is weary, oh, oh, and so am I

Chorus

Every evening, I wish upon a star
That my brand new bright tomorrow isn't very far
When the heavy blue curtain of night
Is raised up high, clear out of sight
Then I like the sunrise, so heavenly to see
I like the sunrise, I hope it likes poor me

Verse 2

Don't worry about saving this music
Or be scared if the singing ends or the piano breaks a string
For we have fallen to a place where everything is music and singing
Everything is recovered and new, ever new and musical

Verse 3

And even if the whole world's harp should burn up
There would still be hidden there, the spirit of song there to linger on
And even if a candle's blown out by wind
The fire smolders on in an ember and then sparks again
