The Three Sunrises Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Spirit of the rising sun, lift me up
Hold me there and never let me fall

[Verse 2]
Love me till I die, my heart won't wait
Soon I will be loved...

[Chorus]
In this love song, love
Love song, love song

[Verse 3]
Hey, hey, love won't find
Find its own way home

[Chorus]
It's a love song, love
Love, love, love

[Post-Chorus]
Sun shine, sun shine on me
Sun shine, sun shine on me

[Chorus]
In this love song, love
Love song, love song, love
[Verse 3]
Hey, hey, love won't find
Find its own way home

[Chorus]
In this love song, love song
Love song, love song
Sun shine on me
Bring it through to my heart
I would give you everything
I will give you my desire

[Post-Chorus]
Sun shine, sun shine on me
Sun shine, sun shine on me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
