lyrics

Sunlight, can I get a little sunlight, if I’m going to die today,
I’d like to die with the sun upon my back.
Sunlight, can I get a little sunlight, well I gave it all away,
for a fight I might just loose here in the rain.

The sky’s about to open up, and rain so heavy on my back,
that it feels like it might break sometimes but,
I’ll carry all my burden, just so long as I can find,
oh that little bit of sunshine, little bit of sunshine.

Sunlight, things look better in the sunlight,
and now I’ve got nowhere to hide,
so I’ll keep fighting till my fists give up on me.
