Lift up your eyes
To the rising of the sun,
Soon comes the day
When the races of earth will be run.

We'll shed the chains
Of nameless fear,
The mornin's comin'
And it's almost here,
Lift up your eyes
To the rising of the sun!

How long have we waited for this
In the darkness of the night?
Did we ever think the day would come
Or would we ever find the light?
Once we thought the darkness would never end,
Now we know it will not be long.
We've seen the sun come over the hill
And now we're awaiting the dawn.

Lift up your eyes
To the rising of the sun,
Soon comes the day
When the races of earth will be run.

We'll shed the chains
Of nameless fear,
The mornin's comin'
And it's almost here,
Lift up your eyes
To the rising of the sun!

What will it be when the morning comes
To waken frozen spring?
The dark of the night becomes the light of day
And the whole creation sings.
Blind then will se and deaf will hear
And darkness will be put away.
Then we shall walk in a world made new
As children of the day.

Lift up your eyes
To the rising of the sun,
Soon comes the day
When the races of earth will be run.

We'll shed the chains
Of nameless fear,
The mornin's comin'
And it's almost here,
Lift up your eyes to the rising of the,
Lift up your eyes to the rising of the,
Lift up your eyes to the rising of the sun,
To the rising of the sun,
To the rising of the sun,
The rising of the sun!
