Lyrics
Chorus
I'm rising up! (I'm rising up!)
Headed for a brand new day
I?m reaching out (I?m reaching out)
What am I gonna learn today
The sun is up (the sun is up)
It?s time to work and play!
Risin? up, reaching out
It?s a brand new day!
Verse 1
I open up my eyes and see the rising sun
I yawn and stretch and now another days begun
The birds are singing me a wake up melody
I jump up out of bed and this is what I sing?
Chorus
Verse 2
I smell the coffee and some pancakes on the grill
I love the fresh start of a new day what a thrill!
There go my friends I hear them humming? a little tune
I just can?t wait to do, the morning school bus groove!
Chorus
Verse 3
I hear the school bus now it?s coming round the bend
It?s just can?t wait to see my teachers and my friends
The wheels are turning now we?re moving right along (beep, beep)
We?re on our way to school, let?s sing this little song
Chorus
Chorus
Coda
Risin? up, reaching out
It?s a brand new day!
Risin? up, reaching out
It?s a brand new day!
