Sun Gonna Lemme Shine

Dark days have gone and come
I’ve been singing that saintly song
Sin knocking on my door
I’ll say no no more
Them schoolyard days are done
But them school bells linger on
Bullies who dumped my books
Are now writing my paychecks
Goodbye wide eyes, you’ve surely had your time
So long sweet tongue, at least you gave it a try
Chorus:
Now the sun’s gonna lemme shine, lemme shine
Now the sun’s gonna lemme shine, lemme shine, that’s right
I’ve climbed the good soapbox
I’ve tried the mountaintops
Ghosts live on my high road
keep saying «go on get low»
Now it’s goodbye good child, you best leave your humble pie
Get some blood on your gloves, and don’t leave those knees behind
Chorus
Tonight I’ll rest my head
And dream dreams I’ve never dreamt
I’ll hold up high my chin
And welcome sin on in
Chorus
