Extreme Rise 'n Shine/Am I Ever Gonna Change/Who Cares Lyrics

I. Rise 'n Shine

Dawn wakes the silence of a fainted lullaby
Day breaks the eyelid from a song sung in my eye
Night rests in peace as the sun mourns the sky
All's accounted for sheep over a horizon's I

Rise, rise 'n shine
A new day is coming
Rise, rise in time
For everything's under the sun

And when you see a south wind blow
Forecasting, you will know
A hot day will be on the way
(Foolish one)
You a___yze the earth and the sky
I ask you why you can't a___yze the signs
Of the present time

I had a dream not unlike the one from old
Of a man king whose head was made of gold
Stand castles of sand, where the sundials rise 'n fall
Chasing wind through your hands 'til water runs dry the well

Dream, Daniel, dream
For what's yet to come
See, Daniel, see
For everything's under the sun

And in the West a cloud appears
For shadows of a coming shower near
Oh, so near (hypocrites)
You a___yze the earth and the sky
I ask you why you can't a___yze the signs
Of the present time

Vanity,
Yes, all is vanity
Vanity,
Yes, all's futility

For one that dies, another's born
Where laughter's heard comforters mourn
There's a time for everything

A song for love, even abhor
An olive branch or winter's war
There's a time for
Everything under the sun

II. Am I Ever Gonna Change

I'm tired of being me
And I don't like what I see
I'm not who I appear to be
So I start off every day
Down on my knees I will pray
For a change in any way
But as the days go by
I live through another lie
If it's any wonder why

Am I ever gonna change?
If I say one thing
Then I do the other
It's the same old song
That goes on forever

Chorus:
Am I ever gonna change?
Will I always stay the same?
If I say one thing
Then I do the other
It's the same old song
That goes on forever
Am I ever gonna change?
Well I'm the only one to blame
If I think I'm right
I wind up wrong
It's a futile (f___in') fight
That's gone on too long

Please tell me if it's true
Am I too old to start anew?
'Cause that's what I want to do
But time and time again
When I think I can
I fall short in the end
So why do I even try?
Will it matter when I die?
Can anyone hear my cry?

(Chorus)

Am I ever gonna change?
I take it day by day
My will is weak
And my flesh too strong
This peace I seek
Till thy kingdom comes

III. Who Cares?

Tell me, Jesus, are you angry?
One more sheep has just gone astray
A hardening of hearts, turning to stone
Wandering off, so far from home
So many children, losing time
Walk in darkness, looking for a sign
Chasing their rainbows, the future looks so bright
Slowly we're losing, Sight of the light

Chorus:
Who cares?
Who cares?
Who cares?
Tell me who cares?
Who cares?

All alone, out in the cold
Can't look back, am I growing old
I chose a path, is this my fate
Am I finding out, the truth too late?

(Chorus)

Here I am, a naked man
Nothing to hide with empty hands
Remember me, I am the one
Who lost his way, your Prodigal Son

Can anybody, can anybody (Who cares?)
Anybody at all (Who cares?)
Anybody at all (Who cares?)
Am I ever gonna change? (Who cares?)
Will I always stay the same? (Who cares?)
Say one thing then I do the other (Who cares?)
(Tell me who cares?)
Same old song, goes on forever
Am I ever gonna change? (Who cares?)
(Rise, rise and shine)
I'll just take it day by day (Who cares?)
(A new day is coming)
My will is weak, but my flesh is strong (Who cares?)
(Tell me who cares?) Yes it is
This peace I seek
As I carry on
