[Introducton: Alexina Garcia Chavez]
The sun is shining
The sun is shining
The sun is shining
The sun is shining
[ Verse 1: Jasper Rumi]
Life is filled with up and downs, like a heartbeat waves
There is no need for glaze if the filling is saved
Half my ancestors we slaveholders, the other half were slaves
It's amazing how things work out at the end of the day
The whore Rahab was an ancestor of the Christ
So my insane strung out mother must make me look nice
How is one successful if they've never done work?
How nice are the treetops when you haven't rubbed in the dirt
Some have to climb up the tree, others are born on the perch
But we all start with appetizers and end with our just desserts
My spirits rising when the sun's shining
The rhythm is the timing, the melody is the binding
The lyrics have the meaning, but it's a maze to find them
And the history behind them. It's amazing when you combine them
So instead of being an urchin that's lurking to purchase
Let's open our curtain and start soul searching
[Hook: Alexina Garcia Chavez]
Look outside the sun is shining
I'm going to take the chance now
Because I will never know
When I'm taking the last bow
But I will
I will have to
[Verse 2: Breeze]
I've been blessed, but this world will put me to the test
I used to fall asleep in class, but my grind will never rest
They said " You'll never find a knack". I never had to act
I used to read the almanac, until I started spitting crack
Until I reach the summit, which I will never covet
I love the clouds in the andes, and I will never plummet
Trying to test our range? The blood of Christ is written on our page
Wise words of a sage, life is not worth minimum wage
Brother, we're out here. Move a light year in a minute
Call that the world wide web, like a spider I just spin it
Trying to live to telegraph that image. Move throught the system
Show no love for intuition. Celebrate brothers with religion
Our peoples unify. separate truth from superstition
Nowadays they'll do anything for a subscription
That's why we got to separate real from fake
I'm not buying knock off brands. No counterfeit in my bank
[Hook: Alexina Garcia Chavez]
[Outro: Jasper Rumi]
There's sunshine, and it's in your eyes
You feel it's warmth from behind
After a hard day you might not get a pat on the back
So the sunshine will keep you on track
