[Verse 1]
All I have is my misery
A couple bucks and some cigarettes
A perfect billboard model just kissed my cheek
That one morning the city slept
I've got a dirty mind but my shoes are clean
I don't look away 'cause I choose to see
The chain around your neck isn't jewellery
You ain't fooling me, 'cause I…
Never had no shades to cry behind
Never found the place I tried to find
If I told you so then I'd be lyin'
I was lost and made a change of course
But I'm still afraid to change of course
Someone told me when it rains it pours

[Hook]
I've been thinking of sunshine (sunshine)
Through the pain and strife
I've been thinking of sunshine
Through the coldest days of life

[Verse 2]
All I have is my history
Strolled the streets when a stranger passed
He spoke and when I got to hear his story
I realized my life is not so bad
I used to have a job till they fired me
I thought I was the person I strived to be
Now everything is gone but that's fine with me
'Cause my mind is free, and I…
Never had no shades to cry behind
Never found the place I tried to find
If I told you so then I'd be lyin'
I was lost and made a change of course
But I'm still afraid to change of course
Someone told me when it rains it pours
[Hook]
I've been thinking of sunshine (sunshine)
Through the pain and strife
I've been thinking of sunshine
Through the coldest days of life

[Verse 3]
I never took nothing from no one except bad advise
Some of my homies never overcame the setback of life
Like life has taught me two things
Life has taught me two things
Tie your own shoestrings
Sometimes we go through things
I've done things, I do things I'm not always proud of
But I smile trough the struggle just as if I won the lotto
I know reality is hard, sometimes it's easy to dream
It's only when you close your eyes that you can see what I've seen
See what I mean?

[Hook]
I've been thinking of sunshine (sunshine)
Through the pain and strife
I've been thinking of sunshine
Through the coldest days of life
(sunshine, sunshine)
I've been thinking of sunshine
Through the coldest days of life
(sunshine, sunshine)
