rising sun

each time it comes
it eats me alive
i try and behave
but it eats me alive
so i declare
a holiday
fall asleep
and drift away

i've had my good times
i've had my bad times
and all the times in between
you know it still hurts
each time i fall down
time i come tumblin' down
each time i scrape my knees

but i am born anew
with the rising sun
pulled up from the mud
to where we all belong
come on feel the love
