Lyrics
Dance for the Sunshine Chorus: Let’s for the sunshine And sing in the rain Pack up all our sorrows And forget our pain. Verse 1 There’s a baby sleeping Worries seems so few Dreams are filled with comfort And the world being new In the ghetto there’s a child Weeping all alone Wishing for a father ‘Cause she never had one On a bus there is a woman Glasses hide her shame She didn’t think he’d hurt her Thought love was his name On the corner stands a hooker Nails all painted red Dreaming she’s a princess In a story she once read Verse 2 I see a business man Dressed in the finest suit His image speaks of money From his hair down to his boots In the alley is a wino Who says he had it all But he never learned to stand After the market’s fall At a rest home there’s a man Leaning on his cane He claims he lived a life Full of fortune and fame Then a hearse goes by With a casket inside Reminding all of us that From death we cannot hide music & lyrics: Birkes & Wiley
