Just Like The Sun
This powerful ballad provides a vehicle for a hero to rise up out of a crowd of downtrodden and hopeless victims of tyranny and become a leader. The people sing about their loss of hope in the first section of the ballad (accompanied by a solo violinist), after which a baritone soloist comes forward to encourage the people to rise again, 'Just Like The Sun'. Moving and inspirational!
(The SSA voicing contains an alto solo part if you'd rather feature a heroine.)

Should've seen it coming Should've known the score Should've read the history books 'Cause this tale's been told before Every doorway has been locked Every exit has been blocked And here we are, trapped inside a cage We don't have the power We don't have a prayer All we have within our hearts Is shame and despair The only choice we have is to obey When there's no trace of hope How does anybody cope With the fact that life goes on And the question still remains How we ended up in chains But it doesn't matter anymore The past has been erased And we're left without a trace of hope I know the future's never looked so bleak I know our spirit's never felt so weak But I just can't concede this fight I just can't lay down and play dead Not while there's breath still in my body Not while there's dreams still in my head Just like the sun We will rise again We will shine the light of a new day And vanquish the darkness of the night We may be down But it's always darkest just before the dawn And just like the sun We will rise on And even though the night is cold The darkness hides a deadly foe The fear that grips your heart is overwhelming But just below the ground There is a power so astounding With a blinding light it will burn through the night On its way back around And just like the sun We will rise again We will shine the light of a new day And vanquish the dark There is no doubt the night's almost done There is no doubt this fight will be won Here comes the dawn And just like the sun We will rise on!
