(Intro.:) Am C Em E Am G C E Am Am G c-b bass Am Rise up bright sun, bring back the days again. G Am b C Rise up bright sun, show us your face again. G Em E Come calling the wind out of the trees, Am G Em E Come breaking the ice floes out of the seas-- Am G Am Rise up bright sun! Rise up bright sun, give back your light again. Rise up bright sun, chase back the night again. Come driving the iron-grey out of the sky, Come gather the winds and hammer them dry-- Rise up bright sun! Rise up bright sun, give us our lives again. Rise up bright sun, till spring arrives again. Come burning the snow to rivers of rain, Come turning the ice to oceans of grain, Rise up bright sun! Rise up bright sun, your children call to you; Rise up bright sun, our futures fall to you! Forgive us the days forgotten to fear, We know it too well this time of the year, Am G Am G Am Rise up bright sun--Rise up bright sun--Rise up bright sun!
