[Verse]
Rinse the raindrops from your head
Wipe your eyes, go back to bed
In the morning, skies'll clear
And I'll be here
See the sunlight, break the ice
For the birds of paradise
Listen to the song they sing
Awakening

Rinse the raindrops from your head
Wipe your eyes, go back to bed
In the morning, skies will clear
And I'll be here
See the sunlight, break the ice
For the birds of paradise
Now listen to the songs they sing
Awakening, oh yeah

Rinse the raindrops from your head
Wipe your eyes, go back to bed
In the morning, skies will clear
And I'll be here
Whoa see the sunlight, break the ice
For the birds of paradise
Listen to the song they sing
Awakening
Awakening
Awakening
Awakening

Rinse the raindrops from your head
Wipe your eyes, go back to bed
In the morning, skies'll clear
And I'll be here
See the sunlight, melt the ice
For the birds of paradise
Listen to the song they sing
Awakening

Rinse the raindrops from your head
Wipe your eyes, go back to bed
In the morning, skies'll clear
And I'll be here
Whoa see the sunlight, break the ice
For the birds of paradise
Listen to the song they sing
Awakening
And I'll be here

Well rinse the raindrops from your head
Wipe your eyes, go back to bed
In the morning, skies will clear
And I'll be here
See the sunlight, break the ice
For the birds of paradise
Listen to the songs they sing
Awakening

Rinse the raindrops from your head
Wipe your eyes, go back to bed
In the morning, skies will clear
And I'll be here

Rinse the raindrops from your head
Wipe your eyes, go back to bed
In the morning I'll be here
And the skies will clear
See the sunlight, break the ice
For the birds of paradise
Listen to the songs they sing
Awakening, awakening

Ah skies will clear and I'll be here
See the sunlight, break the ice
For the birds of paradise
Listen to the songs they sing

The morning skies will clear
And I'll be here
See the sunlight, break the ice
For the birds of paradise
Listen to the songs they sing
Awakening

Oh yeah

In the morning I'll be here
See the sunlight melt the ice
For the birds of paradise
Listen to the song they sing

Paul McCartney

Sir James Paul McCartney, born June 18, 1942, is the single most successful music artist of all time. He found worldwide fame as the bass player and vocalist for The Beatles, and has continued to enjoy commercial success long after the band’s breakup.

His post-Beatles projects—the most lucrative of which was the band Wings, alongside then-wife Linda Eastman—have been met with mixed critical reception but he still retains a substantial public following, regularly conducting worldwide arena tours well into his later years.

His album sales with The Beatles, Wings and solo endeavours combined come to over 100 million, and his net worth was estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion circa 2018. He was knighted in 1997 and is known for his activism.
