a bright, up-tempo very rhythmic rock and roll song in praise of the arrival of the Sun.

I am a songwriter, rather than a band. I am looking for groups or individuals to record my material.
Story behind the song
In the musical, "California : A State Of Being", Teresa Trueheart, resplendent in Black Leather, rides her Harley Davidson up Topanga Canyon Boulevard just at dawn. Johnny rides "tagalong" holding on for dear life, as Teresa leans hard into every curve. The dawn sunlight is illuminating the hills around them as they climb swiftly towards the top of Topanga Canyon. They are on a mission to visit the Secret Wicca Circle, high on lonely hill in the canyon, to consult the Witch of Topanga Canyon, in an effort to find the missing and errant, Mary Lou......the girl, in principle, still loved by Johnny. Aw, but Teresa is beginning to notice that she likes Johnny hugging her tightly, and Johnny is beginning to notice that he very much likes having his arms around Teresa! Oh, my goodness!
Lyrics
The Sun Song
copyright 1985 by Victor Compton
from the R&R musical : " California : A State Of Being "
Laugh at the night, cause the light's arriving
Chasing the shadows and melting the fear
Painting the sky with the blue of creation
New generations of promise are here.
The stars are disappearing, above
The sun is comin', and the sun is comin', the sun is comin' up!
Out on the ocean, the white sails are shining
Brilliantly burning with fire from the East
Now is the time that the millions have cried for
Famine is broken and hunger will feast.
Love and understanding are increased.
The sun is comin', the sun is comin', the grip of night had ceased!
Chorus : No more pains to cry for, no more love to lose
Nothing we should die for, the dawn had changed the views
Beauty's given comfort to the beast.
The sun is comin', the sun is comin'
The light had been released!
Children are laughing in praise of the morning.
Heroes and villains are not as they seem
Threatening noises all find explanations
Fear is so distant, it feels like a dream
The future's looking better than the past
The sun is comin', the sun is comin',
the new day is here at last!
