  When I woke this mornin', something inside of me 

  Told me this would be my day 

  I heard the mornin' train, I felt the wind change 

  Too many times I'm on my way

  R1:
  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

  S2:
  Then I saw the sunrise above the cotton sky 

  Like a candy cane delight 

  I saw the milkman, I saw the business man 

  I saw the only road in sight

  S3:
  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

  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

  S4:
  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

  R1:
  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
