SOUND OF SUNSHINE
By Michael Franti

I wake up in the morning at six o’clock They say there may be rain, but the sun is hot I wish I had some time just to kill today And I wish I had a dime for every bill I got to pay Some days you lose, you win and the water’s as high as the times you’re in So I jump back in where I learned to swim Try to keep my head above it the best I can That’s why CHORUS Here I am, just waiting for this storm to pass me by And that’s the sound of sunshine coming down And that’s the sound of sunshine, coming down I saw my friend Bobby, he said ‘what’s up man, you got a little work or a twenty to lend?’ I opened up my hand he said, ‘I’m glad to see, they can take away my job but not my friends, you see’ (CHORUS) That’s the sound of the sun goin down When the people of the world start to paint the town A day that’s long is a day complete So kick off ya shoes and relax ya feet They say that miracles are never ceasing And every single soul needs a little releasing They say that money makes the world go round But only one thing’ll help the sun go down Sweet sweet love’ll help the sun go down – it’s true, it’s true, it’s true (CHORUS) You’re the one I wanna be with, when the sun goes down (CHORUS)
