D             G
Sun is up, a new day is before you
D          G                     
Sun is up, wake your sleepy soul
D          G
Sun is up, hold on to what is yours

Take up your spade and break ground

Shake off your shoes

Shake off your shoes

But forget not where you've been

Shake off your shoes

Forgive and be forgiven

Give thanks, for each moment and every crumb
