Lyrics
Wake up with a reason to smile.
Even when your babies are crying.
You're the one from the silver mountain sky.
Done enough for the Old Fort Road to rise...
More than I.
Wake up with the sunrise and you wake with me.
Wake up and your lonely, but I am with thee.
We go over the mountain sun, 'cause the day has just begun.
Your hands remind me of the life that I recall that I have won.
mmmm.....
