What Will I Get with the Sunrise?
I set out to save the world today.
I stood tall and pleaded my case.
I prayed for days and didn’t eat a thing
just because I needed help, clearly.
And though I lay my head down, sleep is far from me.
What will I get with the sunrise?
What will I get with the sunrise?
What will I get with the sunrise?
A man outside is calling now for me
to live and die like a Queen.
Will I rise in this occasion believing that
I was born for these things?
What will I get with the sunrise?
What will I get with the sunrise?
What will I get with the sunrise?
My heart was burning
for my people
and I, I couldn’t let it go.
My heart was burning
for my people
and I, I couldn’t let it go.
I couldn’t, I couldn’t let it go.
I couldn’t let it go.
What will I get with the sunrise?
What will I get with the sunrise?
What will I get with the sunrise?
