SUNRISE
Uriah Heep(tribute) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sunrise, and the new day's breaking through.
The morning of another day without you.
And as the hours roll by
no one's there to see me cry
except the sunrise,
the sunrise and you.
Tired eyes drift across the shore.
Looking for love and nothing more.
But as the sea rolls by
noone's there to see me cry
except the sunrise,
the sunrise and you.
Sunrise, bless my eyes.
Catch my soul, make me whole again.
Sunrise, new day heed my song.
I'm tired of fighting and fooling around.
But from now until who knows when?
My sword will be my friend.
And I'll love you...love ya
for all of my time.
Sunrise, bless my eyes.
Catch my soul, make me whole again.




(Repeat)
Sunrise.

Overall Meaning

The song "Sunrise" by Uriah Heep is a poignant exploration of the emotions that come with a broken heart. The opening lines convey a sense of melancholy and loneliness, with the singer lamenting the fact that he is starting yet another day without his beloved. As the day progresses, the same sense of isolation persists, with the singer suggesting that nobody is there to see him cry. However, amidst all the sadness, the sunrise provides a glimmer of hope, with the rays of sunlight seemingly carrying with them the promise of a brighter future.


The second verse takes the theme of unrequited love to another level, as the singer's tired eyes look out across the shore hoping to find love, but ultimately finding nothing. Once again, the sunrise is there to provide a sense of comfort, as if the beauty of the dawn is in some way compensating for the pain of heartbreak. The final verses introduce a new idea - that the singer is tired of fighting and fooling around and that he will love his beloved for all of his time. This declaration of unwavering devotion affirms the idea that even in the midst of darkness, the sunrise represents the possibility of redemption, a new beginning, and a chance to heal.

Sunrise
And the new day's breakin' through
The morning
Of another day without you
And as the hours roll by
No-one's there to see me cry
Except the sunrise
The sunrise and you
Tired eyes drift across the shore
Looking for love and nothing more
But as the sea rolls by
No-one's there to see me cry
Except the sunrise
The sunrise and you
Sunrise
Bless my eyes
Catch my soul
Make me whole again
Sunrise, new day
Hear my song
I'm tired of fightin'
And foolin' around
But from now on
Till who knows when
My sword will be my friend
And I'll love you, love you
For all of my time



비정한세상

Uriah Heep-Sunrise (1972 UK)

♩~♬~Instrumental~♪~♬
Ah~~~
Sunrise & the new day's breakin' through
해가 떠오르자 새 날이 밝아오네
The morning of another day without you
당신 없이 맞이하는 또 다른 하루의 아침
And as 'the hours roll by'
그리고 세월이 흐르지만
No one's there to see me cry...
내가 우는 걸 봐주는 이는 아무도 없네...

Except the sunrise...
떠오르는 태양 외에는
The sunrise and you~Ah~
태양과 당신 외에는... 아!

Tired eyes 'drift across' the shore
지친 내 시선은 해안가를 '표류'하며
Looking for love & nothing more
사랑, 그 외에는 아무 것도 찾지 않지
But as the sea rolls by
바닷물은 흐르지만
No one's there to see me cry...
내가 우는 걸 봐주는 이는 아무도 없네..

Sun-rise.... bless my eyes!
내 눈을 축복해 줘!
Catch my soul - 'make me whole' again!
영혼을 잡아주고, 날 다시 '온전하게' 해 줘

Sunrise, new day
hear my song! 내 노래를 들어봐
I'm tired of fightin' and foolin' around
여기저기 부딪치고 빈둥대는 것고 지쳤어
But from now till who knows when~
그러나 지금부터 ~를 아는 자가 될 때까지
My sword will be my friend
(내 검이 내 친구가 될 때)
And I'll love you,
love ya 'for all of my time 평생토록'

I've listen to rock and progressive music since 1971. Never have I understood how Byron has not been properly acclaimed for the contribution he made to both that era and the times since.

This era was the greatest for Uriah Heep. Every other track was catchy emotional and pure music quality back then. Thanks for all you vibes and emotions did you gave us 🙏🙏🙏

Dwight Erickson

Mid-60s to mid-70s is perhaps the greatest era of music...period. So fortunate to have grown up in that era and enjoyed it ALL!

Robert Edge

Byron sings this with such passion and feeling, the best singer Heep ever had...

Peace for Everybody
