Sometimes after a family outing the car radio is set on the station the kids like.  I don’t bother to change the station before turning off the car so that’s what’s on when I head off for work in the morning.   This from thirty years ago but the first time I remember hearing it was on Kids Place Live a couple weeks ago.  (How’d I manage that?)  Heard it again this morning.  What a great song.

There are times when it is appropriate to bow your head in quiet contemplation and there are times when it is appropriate to raise your arms up, look to the heavens, and feel joy for the things which make us beautiful and full of light.  This song, which we used to sing at Boy Scout camp when I was a teenager, is appropriate for the latter.  Rise and shine.
