[Verse 1] Morning on the balcony Mist on the laundry line You blink and the day begins Gold in the lemon rind Bare feet on the cool tile Tea steam in the open air The sky turns soft and peachy And you are standing there [Pre-Chorus] Slowly, the dark lets go Slowly, the blue turns warm Your quiet moves through the room Like a candle in the storm [Chorus] Rise, rise, with the sun ( rise, rise ) Peace comes first Then we run Rise, rise, with the sun ( rise, rise ) Hold this light Till the morning's done [Verse 2] Window glass turns amber Pigeons cut the open sky The street is waking gently One soft note at a time Your smile hits like a blessing No rush, no race, no cost The shadows fall behind you Like something safely lost [Pre-Chorus] Slowly, the dark lets go Slowly, the blue turns warm Your quiet moves through the room Like a candle in the storm [Chorus] Rise, rise, with the sun ( rise, rise ) Peace comes first Then we run Rise, rise, with the sun ( rise, rise ) Hold this light Till the morning's done [Bridge] Let the first light touch your name Let it wash your worry out We were made for this opening For the hush before the shout [Final Chorus] Rise, rise, with the sun ( rise, rise ) Peace comes first Then we run Rise, rise, with the sun ( rise, rise ) Hold this light Till the morning's done
