Lyrics
When I awoke this mornin' Something inside of me Told me this would be my day I heard the morning train I felt the wind change Too many times I'm on my way Come on sunshine, what can you show me Where can you take me to make me understand? The wind can shake me, brothers forsake me The rain can touch me, but can I touch the rain? And then I saw the sunrise Above a cotton sky Like a candy cane delight I saw the milkman I saw the businessman I saw the only road in sight Then I got to thinkin' What makes you want to go To know the wherefore and the why? So many times now Oh Lord I can't remember If it's September or July Come on sunshine, what can you show me Where can you take me to make me understand? The wind can shake me, brothers forsake me The rain can touch me, but can I touch the rain? Then all at once it came to me I saw the wherefore And you can see it if you try It's in the sun above It's in the one you love You'll never know the reason why But come on sunshine, what can you show me Where can you take me to make me understand? The wind can shake me, brothers forsake me The rain can touch me, but can I touch the rain? So much to lose, so much to gain
