Lyrics

Rise and shine
Greet the day
I always try to wake up in a joyful way
But lately I am finding
This is really hard to do
When my mind drifts like it always does
To thoughts of me and you
And all the things that we have left unsaid
So these days I always wish I could just stay in bed

My world is draped in sorrow every day
And though I try to tell myself that everything will be ok
It always seems that no matter what I do to fight this feeling
It never ever seems to go away
My world is draped in sorrow every day

Drink my morning coffee
And I read the daily news
That’s probably a routine that I’d be wise to lose
Between hatred and division
And all the needless lies
The world that we have known
Could vanish right before our eyes
And so I’m left here
Wondering what someone like me can do
And why it seems that no one else feels this way, too

My world is draped in sorrow every day
And though I try to tell myself that everything will be ok
It always seems that no matter what I do to fight this feeling
It never ever seems to go away
My world is draped in sorrow every day

Time is fading like the setting sun
And our memories all fade to be replaced by aches and pains
I don’t think the world will be a better place before I’m done
Let’s not let the sorrow steal the time that still remains

Our world is draped in sorrow every day
And tomorrow I will tell myself that everything will be ok
Put a smile upon my face
And ignore these empty feelings
Cause I know that there has got to be a way
To rise above the sorrow every day
