The Rising Sun

This song was written around May 8, 2008. I've re-edited it. I'd love some feedback.

The Rising Sun

i never heard a love song, until i heard you call my name
i never saw all the colors, i was drenched in all the rain
i never knew to take shelter when the darkness took over the sky
i never had a mother to wipe the tears from my eye
but i know the son is gonna rise

i never felt the healing of faithful fingertips
i never felt the power of a kiss from a lover's lips
i never knew how to set things right when my words ruined everything
i never had a brother and i never knew how to sing
but i know the son is gonna rise

the rising sun, here it comes
the rising son, here He comes
the rising son

i never spoke to Jesus until my world came crashing down
i never knew how to hold my tongue with the chaos spinnin’ round
i made many a promise that i knew i couldn't keep
i never believed i could fall in love, the price was just too steep
and i know the son is gonna rise

the rising sun, here it comes
the rising son, here He comes
the rising son

  2. I like these words: "i never felt the healing of faithful fingertips, i never felt the power of a kiss from a lover's lips."

  3. Yeah, too bad you don't like the melody. Maybe you can help me come up with one more modern.
