Lyrics
Wake up, it’s a brand new day
Get up on your feet when the music play
Wake up, it’s a brand new day
Put your hands high when the music play
Wake up, it’s a brand new day
Whoa-oh!
Wake up, it’s a brand new day
Listen
Hear the sound let’s rise and shine
Music is a healing
Yeah you know it comes so far now
Every day through every season
Come together let’s rise and shine
Love is still the message
Yeah you know it comes so far now
Every day count your blessings
So
Wake up, it’s a brand new day
Get up on your feet when the music play
Wake up, it’s a brand new day Put your hands high when the music play
Wake up, it’s a brand new day
Whoa-oh!
Wake up, it’s a brand new day
Love the sound let’s rise and shine
Music is a feeling
Yeah you know it comes so far now
Every day in every season
Join together, let’s rise and shine
Love is still the message
Yeah you know it comes so far now
Every day count your blessings
Wake up, it’s a brand new day
Get up on your feet when the music play
Wake up, it’s a brand new day
Put your hands high when the music play
Wake up, it’s a brand new day
Whoa-oh!
Wake up, it’s a brand new day
Joshua Swain Guest Vox:
"Wake up, We're sick of the buildup of litter, The mortar is coming apart, Does it matter, The fatter the ends, the meaner the means, and it means
we're no better off now, and a letter, won't get them to get up, We're caught in a set up, The cheddar is getting them, crazed in the maze, So we're fighting them, Inciting a riot, No writing , will let us get back, to the better off days
Wooo Oh Ohhh, Let's get realistic, Let's get heavy, Let's get spiritual
If not us, who will tell the youth, about the music of the forest, and the cosmic metaphysical
I sing my praises in the morning, when I wake up to the spirit of the animal and mystical
The only thing I ever really truly wanted in my life is for this nature to be natural"
So let’s wake up, it’s a brand new day
Get up on your feet when the music play
Wake up, it’s a brand new day
Put your hands high when the music play
Wake up, it’s a brand new day
Whoa-oh!
Wake up, it’s a brand new day
