Rosey Risin' - Marcy Playground

Rosy Rising

Wake up child and greet the sun

Morning time has just begun

What?

Surprised you’re alive another day

In the time of revelation, yeah

You walk down to the church uptown

And you stand in the fountain looking down

And you think as you listen to the bells of St John’s

(ding… dang… dong)

How so much time has gone

Aw, Rosy Rising

Get your big fat booty out of bed

Stretch your toes and scratch your head

Before life gets wasted on the dead another day

In the time of revelation, yeah

Do do do do, do do do do do do doo… etc

The time of revelation’s come at last

So walk down to the church uptown

And stand in the fountain, don’t look down

And smile when you listen to the bells of St. John’s

(ding… dang… dong)

'Cause there ain’t nothing wrong

Rosy Rising

Wake up child and greet the sun

Half your life has just begun

What?

Surprised you’re alive another day

Just to have this revelation, yeah

In the time of revelation, yeah

And it’s a heartfelt revelation, yeah
