Sunshine In Their Eyes

A lonesome tear, a hungry face

A barren pain, a dream unchased

Oh, I can't wait until the day

There's sunshine in their eyes

A prayer is heard by one so small

Let love be in the hearts of all

Oh, I can't wait until the day

There's sunshine in their eyes

You and I may never see them cry

Or wonder why the world's so cold

(You feel that they're too young)

(To take a look around)

But in their faces I can see the trouble all around

The day we must turn into lies

The truth already in their minds

Oh, I can't wait until the day

There's sunshine in their eyes

(He can't wait to see the day) doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

There's sunshine in their eyes

Oh, no, no

Sunshine in their eyes

Oh, my mother's worried 'cause she feels the world is ending

She believes that everything is coming to an end

Papa's being real careful 'cause his brother Sam was robbed

Tryin' to buy just a loaf of bread for baby John

(See how the world escaped)

All the streets turning bare

(Most of the news is bad)

Crime just speeds in the air

Sad is the song

Rolling along

Everything is happening

Weird is the tune

Are we all doomed?

Everything is happening

Cost of living's up, but the pay is low down

Hate to see the babies starve 'cause momma can't be found

Sister lives alone, bolts and chains the door at night

Never ever walks an alley or a shorter way

(See how the world escaped)

All the streets turning bare

(Most of the news is bad)

Crime just speeds in the air

Sad is the song

Rolling along

Everything is happening

Weird is the tune

Are we all doomed?

Everything is happening

Father Bill's gone fighting in a place where he's a stranger

But good men die a stranger in every war

We all hide in shame, boldly pointing to another

When the blame we know for sure is right in ourselves (in ourselves)

In ourselves (in ourselves)

In ourselves

Sad is the song

Rolling along

Everything is happening (oh, people)

Weird is the tune

Are we all doomed?

Everything is happening, whoa (da da, da ra da)

Da ra da ra, da ra da ra

Da ra da ra, da ra da ra

Da ra da ra, da

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Da ra da ra da, da ra da ra, da ra da ra

Da ra da ra, da ra da ra

Da ra da ra, da ra da ra

Da ra da ra, da

Oh (oh)

Da ra da ra da, da ra da ra, da ra da ra

Da ra da ra, da ra da ra (baby, baby)

Da ra da ra, da (yah)

Hey, right here in ourselves (da ra da ra da)

Yeah, baby (da ra da ra, da ra da ra)

Blame's right here in ourselves (da ra da ra, da)

Get it (da ra da ra da)

Everybody get with it (da ra da ra da)

Oh, hey, hey, yeah (da ra da ra da)

Everybody, oh (da ra da ra da)
