Sunshine Lyrics

Made a wish, I can dream
I can be what I want to be
Not afraid to live my life
And fulfil my fantasies

I learnt a lot of tricks to help me live my life
You helped me find my paradise
When you came I saw

Sunshine through my window
That's what you are
My shining star
Sunshine
Making me feel like
I'm on top of the world
Telling me I'll go far

Reaching out, for the highs
You inspired me to try
I felt the magic inside
And I felt that I could fly
I'm looking at the world in an optimistic light
You made me appreciate my life
'cause when you came you were my

Sunshine through my window
That's what you are
My shining star
Sunshine
Making me feel like
I'm on top of the world
Telling me I'll go far

You are the calm
I am the storm
You are the breeze that carries me on
When I said a truth
You wink at me
You're there for me

Sunshine (oh yeah)
That's what you are
My shining star
Sunshine
Making me feel I'm on top of the world
Telling me that I'll go far
Sunshine through my window
That's what you are
My shining star

(Sunshine) Making me feel I'm on top of the world
Telling me that I'll go far
Sunshine through my window
That's what you are
My shining star
Sunshine
Making me feel I'm on top of the world
Telling me that I'll go far
Sunshine
My star, my star..

Sunshine

Life hasn't always been a breeze for Gabrielle, who was teased and picked on because of a lazy eye at school. Then after breaking through with her hit single "Dreams" she had to endure being in the public eye when her long term partner Tony Antoniou was imprisoned for the murder of his stepfather. Gabriellle penned this song after a happier event; The birth of her son: "Sunshine was a tribute to my son for being my whole reason for living after many testing years," she said in 2010. "Now my little girl and boy are my sunshine every day."

Rise Lyrics

Rise

Herb's nephew, Randy Badazz Alpert, wrote this with Andy Armer. When the 3M Company lent a 32-track digital recorder to A&M Records (then co-owned by Alpert), they had some time to experiment. Says Randy: "It was Herb's idea to record The Lonely Bull and several other of his old hit records in a dance format, and though I did not particularly like the idea I did go ahead and work up some new dance arrangements for those old songs. I had played Rise and several other new songs for Herb several weeks before the recording session and he loved 2 out of the 3 songs. We had always intended to record Rise during the session. That song was never an after thought. We did try recording the Lonely Bull and one other song before we switched to Rise. The room seemed to light up when we started to record that tune. It was a magical moment for both Herb and me."

On the Armer/Badazz audition tape, this was a stomper, going 128 beats per minute. Alpert slowed it to about 100 BPM so "People could dance and hug each other at the end of the night."

After this was released, it got an unexpected boost when it was used in a critical scene in the TV series General Hospital - the rape of Laura by Luke (Anthony Geary, who plays Luke, suggested the song to the series' music director). The song was repeated several times a week for a short period afterward, until the storyline changed to make Luke and Laura a romantic couple.

It wouldn't be the last time General Hospital bumped a song up the charts: In 1983, "Think Of Laura" by Christopher Cross was used as Luke and Laura's love theme, and exposure on the show pushed it to #9 on the Hot 100 and #1 on the Adult Contemporary chart.

This was Alpert's second #1 (after "This Guy's in Love With You"), making him to only solo performer to be credited with a #1 vocal and a #1 instrumental single. This is the instrumental.

This became a hit in the UK - ironically at 135 BPM - as British club DJs did not realize that American 12-inch singles are played at 33 revolutions per minute, not 45 (the European standard).

All of the music for Notorious B.I.G.'s hit "Hypnotize" was sampled from this. "Hypnotize" was a Billboard #1 Pop, R&B, and Rap song and was Top 10 in most countries throughout the world in 1997. So the "Rise" music was actually a #1 record twice in a span of 28 years.

To follow this up, "Rotation" was released in January 1980 and was a minor Top 40 hit in America. There was another single called "Street Life" which was released in late spring of 1980. "Beyond" was released at the end of summer 1980. (Thanks to Randy Badazz Alpert for telling us about this song)

This song won a Grammy in 1980 for Best Pop Instrumental Performance. It was the third time that Alpert won a Grammy. His last 2 songs that won Grammys were "A Taste of Honey" (1965) and "What Now My Love?" (1966). (thanks, Jerro - New Alexandria, PA)

Rise Lyrics

Today’s the day when we all Rise
My anchor’s gone so watch me come alive
Together we stand against the burning lies
And now that I found my wings to fly I’m ready to go
Rise, we all rise
Oh oh oh
We all rise
Oh oh oh
Today’s the day
Rise

Hold up I’m back to boast on these tracks like
I’m mad at em, might back slap mics
Never mind mind the fact I never left I’m hype
Listen up right you ain’t gotta ask me twice
I’m here, I’m here to brag on him like I’m known for
While folks snore I’ma go for it
My God ain’t no folklore, ‘cause he real, he real
Now to the topic at hand
I know the designer, he’s higher than pilots who fly up in clouds he designed with his hands
I’m writing to tell you this life is a flash in a pan
How I’ma retire when we need a cryer to tell us to rise up and stand?
Check yo plans
My dude, that grave ain’t your home
Cause you been underground way too long
Six deep with a date on your stone
All they say, “That boy gone†
Come on, don’t you wanna go home?
Don’t you wanna be more than a clone?
Do you know that you’re loved and you’re known?
We all ride on the wrong side
But we beating our chest at the wrong guy
“We don’t need God†
We may not say it with our mouths, but we do with our whole lives
That’s a bold lie, he’s the most high no close by, we all die
John 5:28,29, the judge is here!
All rise

Today’s the day when we all rise
My anchor’s gone so watch me come alive
Together we stand against the burning lies
And now that I found my wings to fly I’m ready to go
Rise, we all rise
Oh oh oh
We all rise
Oh oh oh
Today’s the day
Rise

Rise Song Chart

This is the title track of Trip Lee 's fifth album. "Rise has a lot of different meanings," the rapper told Vibe about the record, "It's a call-to-action to rise from the dead and actually live. We're born spiritually dead, and I'm calling for everyone to become spiritually alive."

"Secondly, don't wait until later to live the way you were created," Trip added. "God created you to honor Him, find joy, and serve others. Don't sleep on that. Lastly, rise above the low expectations people have."

Rise debuted at #16 on the Billboard album chart with first-week sales of approximately 23,000 units, making it Trip Lee's highest charting long player of his career.

This song introduces the album. "When Gawvi and I made that track, we sat and listened to some of our favorite intros to hip-hop albums of all-time," Trip told Artist Direct . "Then, we had an hour-long conversation about what we thought made a great hip-hop intro. We worked on that one. In that sense, it was special. We were on the same page in terms of what we wanted to do and what he created. It was beautiful."

I'm Gone Song Chart

Trip Lee explained the story behind this song to Artist Direct : "I think everybody, no matter where they are, feels some sense of the things they do which they know are wrong but try to get away from but can't. Part of it is saying, 'Man, I want to get away from the things I know I shouldn't do.'"

"Even more specifically, I'm thinking of the enemy and evil, which tries to pull me in. I'm writing that to the devil, 'I know you want to pull me in these directions. I hear what you're saying, but I don't believe you. You're lying, and I don't need that.' We all make decisions off things we know is the truth. That's a call, which a lot of people can relate to. I don't want to be deceived by these lies anymore. I want to live the way I was made to live."

Salvation Lyrics

All alone, lost in this abyss
Crawling in the dark
Nothing to wet my longing lips
And I wonder where you are
Are you far, will you come to my rescue
Am I left to die but I can’t give up on you

I feel you keeping me alive
You are my Salvation
Touch you, taste you, feel you here
I feel you keeping me alive
You are my salvation
Hold me, heal me, keep me near
My heart will burn for you
It’s all I can do

Salvation
Salvation (keeping me alive)
Salvation (you’re keeping me)
Salvation (you’re keeping me alive)

Been out from under who I am
And who I want to be
Held you tightly in my hands
Why are we unraveling
Was it me, will you come to my rescue
Or did I push to far when I turned my back on you

I feel you keeping me alive
You are my salvation
Touch you, taste you, feel you here
I feel you keeping me alive
You are my salvation
Hold me, heal me, keep me near
My heart will burn for you
It’s all I can do

Salvation
Salvation (keeping me alive)
Salvation

Touch you, taste you, feel you, need you
Give it all just to find you
Hold me, heal me
I will find you

Keeping me alive
You are my salvation
Touch you, taste you, feel you here
Our love will never die
You are my salvation
Hold me, heal me, keep me near
My heart will burn for you
It’s all I can do

Salvation
Salvation
Touch you, taste you, need you
Salvation

Salvation Song Chart

Rise is a collection of songs loosely tracing the journey of someone finding faith in Jesus Christ. Skillet frontman John Cooper told NewReleaseTuesday : "The song 'Salvation' is about feeling all alone, with nothing to live for, but reaching out for Christ, and Christ is now my reason to live. He is my salvation, and He is everything to me. That song is the climax of the record."

The track is sung by Jen Ledger, who has been Skillet's drummer since 2008. She also provided vocals for the Awake songs "Hero" and "Awake and Alive."

The Bible reading that precedes the song is from Isaiah 53 and is narrated by Cooper's daughter, Alex.
