Sunrise Lyrics

Sunrise and the new day's breakin' trough
The morning of another day without you
And as the hours roll by
No one's there to see me cry
'cept the sunrise
The sunrise and you

Tired eyes drift across the shore
Looking for love and nothing more
But as the sea rolls by
No-one's there to see me cry
Except the sunrise
The sunrise and you

Sun-rise catch my soul - make me whole again
Sunrise, new day, hear my song
I'm tired of fightin' and foolin' around
But from now to who knows when
My sword will be my friend
And I'll love you, love ya'
For all my time

Sunrise, bless my eyes
Catch my soul - make me whole again
Sunrise, bless my eyes
Catch my soul - make me whole again
Sunrise

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

It's a really wonderful song. Makes you think about your life as well. I think it's about a new begining - at least a little. That's the way the sunrise is associated - as a symbol of the new day. Love is also discussed again - it's like, the only thing to see the character cry is something as powerful as the sunrise - and the other one is that person. Wouldn't it be a wonderful thing if someone compares you, in this way, with the sunrise?
