I never could understand how eagles fly Never could understand the rising tide Never could understand why winter comes when summer days are gone But I absolutely understand the rising of the sun
Many things I’m never sure of, never understood things that man will do to man in the name of good I never could identify the quarters of the moon But the one thing that I’m sure of is the rising of the sun (of the sun)
(Chorus) I know the sun will rise tomorrow morning Eastern skies will bring the dawn and you and I shall be reborn
[indecipherable] I spent my time that didn’t matter much Worryin’ about politicians [indecipherable] and such
I’ve wasted precious hours and so many things that I’ve done But I’ll get up every morning to watch the rising sun (the rising sun)
(repeat chorus)
[The way I ever learned ?unclear] to live with human misery [And pray ?unclear] to have the answers to the mysteries of the sea I couldn’t swear I’d know the names of all the famous men But I’ll stand up and bear witness to the rising of the sun (of the sun)
