[Verse 1:]
So many nights I've cried
For better days I prayed for;
But through it all I know
The sun is gonna shine if I hold out
The sun is gonna shine if I hold out

[Verse 2:]
Sometimes I feel alone
No one around to call to on;
I must endure for I know
The sun is gonna shine if I hold out
The sun is gonna shine if I hold out

[Bridge:]
Weeping may endure for a night
Trouble don't last always;
Joy comes in the morning
Just wait 'til the morning

[Verse 3:]
I won't let go of my faith
The sun is gonna shine if I hold out
The sun is gonna shine if I hold out

[Vamp:]
The sun is gonna shine
