Sunshine in Their Eyes Lyrics

A lonesome fear
A hungry face
A barren pain
A dream unchaste
Oh, I can't wait until the day
there's sunshine in their eyes

A prayer is heard
By one so small
Let love be in the hearts of all
Oh, I can't wait until the day
there's sunshine in their eyes

You and I may never see them cry
Or wonder why the world's so cold
(You feel that we're too young)
(To take a look around)
But in their faces I can see the trouble all around

Today, we must turn into lies
The truth already in their minds
Oh, I can't wait until the day
there's sunshine in their eyes

He can't wait to see the day there's sunshine in their eyes
Ah, no, no
There's sunshine in their eyes, mmm

Oh, my mother's worried 'cause she feels the world is ending
She believes that everything is coming to an end
Papa's bein' real careful 'cause his brother Sam was robbed
Trying to buy just a loaf of bread for baby John

See how the world escaped
All the streets turning bare
Most of the news is bad
Crime just speeds in the air

Sad is the song
Rolling along
Everything is happening

Wit is the tune
Are we all doomed?
Everything is happening

Cost of living's up, but the pay is low down
Hate to see the babies starve 'cause momma can't be found
Sister lives alone, bolts and chains the door at night
Never ever walks an alley or a shorter way

See how the world escaped
All the streets turning bare
Most of the news is bad
Crime just speeds in the air

Sad is the song
Rolling along
Everything is happening

Wit is the tune
Are we all doomed?
Everything is happening

Father Bill's gone fighting in a place where he's a stranger
But good men die a stranger in every war
We all hide in shame, boldly point to another
When the blame we know for sure is right in ourselves
in ourselves, in ourselves, in ourselves, in ourselves

Sad is the song
Rolling along
Everything is happening

Wit is the tune
Are we all doomed?
Everything is happening

Da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da
Everybody say it now
Da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da
Ah
Da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da
Ow, yeah
Da, da, da, da, da (hey, right here)
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da
Ah
Da, da, da, da, da (get it)
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da (everybody get with it)
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da
Oh, baby
Da, da, da, da, da (hey, get it)
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da (everybody get with it, hey)
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da (get your thing together, yeah, yeah)
Da, da, da, da, da (yeah, yeah)
