Rise and Shine
Sofia the First (Cast) Lyrics

I used to go to sleep at night
In the past, I would sleep at night.

So thankful for my simple life
I was grateful for my uncomplicated life.

Up at all the stars I would be gazing
I used to stare at the stars above.

An ordinary girl it seems
People thought I was just a normal girl.

But never in my wildest dreams
But not even in my craziest imaginations.

Could I imagine something so amazing
Could I have envisioned such a remarkable occurrence.

It happened in an instant
Suddenly and unexpectedly,

Everything changed
Everything in my life transformed.

Now my whole life is rearranged
My entire life has been restructured.

It's time to rise and shine
It's time to get up and embrace the day.

Wake up and make the day mine
I need to take control of and conquer the day ahead.

In this brand new world
In this new and unknown world.

I'm at the starting line
I'm at the beginning of a new journey.

But I know deep down that it will all be fine
But I have a strong conviction that everything will work out.

'Cause I'm gonna rise
Because I'm going to succeed.

And suddenly out of the blue
And all of a sudden, without warning,

I woke up to a dream come true
My dreams were fulfilled, and it was unbelievable.

Then if just a dream then please don't wake me
If this is just a fantasy, then please don't snap me out of it.

To the castles swipe away
To the royal palaces, I was taken,

Became a princess in a day
In a single day, I transformed into a princess.

Now I'm wondering where this road may take me
I'm pondering where my journey will lead me.

So much to learn
I have a lot to learn.

So much to be
So many things to experience.

And I can't wait to find the key
And I'm excited to find the solution or answers I'm searching for.

It's a brand new world
This is an entirely new world, for me.

Right before their eyes
Directly in front of everyone's eyes.

I'm gonna rise
I will triumph.

And shine
And excel.

Rise and shine
To wake up, flourish, and succeed.
