Lyrics

SUNSHINE INSIDE

You know I’m growing up so fast
Just making it through, trying to
Make the good times last
Gotta make those good days shine
Oh but this light of mine
Has been through the darkest times…

But I know, I know, I know
It’s always sunny on the other side
Today may be dark, I just wanna hide
But my mamma tells me let it be
And my brothers stand tall next to me
And I know, I know, I know
It’s always sunny on the other side
The wind may blow, no place to hide
But there is always this sunshine inside

My friends say how do you make it through
Well sometimes all you can do is
Take the step in front of you
Gotta keep on stepping true
Though you may wonder all along
Who could be so strong,
Gotta be so strong…

But I know, I know, I know
It’s always sunny on the other side
Today may be dark, just wanna hide
But Mother Mary comes to me
And here is where I wanna be
And I know, I know, I know
It’s always sunny on the other side
The wind may blow, no place to hide
But there is always this sunshine inside

Days may fall down heavy
Dreams may offer no escape
Still there’s no forgetting
Life is just what you make

And I know it’s always sunny on the other side/Sunshine inside…
