"Sunshine In Their Eyes" lyrics

A lonesome tear
A hungry face
A barren pain
A dream unchased

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 they'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
(We can't wait to see the day there's sunshine in our eyes)
Oh no, no
(Sunshine in our eyes)

Oh my mother's worried 'cause she feels the world is ending
She believes that everything is coming to an end
Papa's staying 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 feeds 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 livings up, but the pay is low down
Hate to see the babies starve 'cause mamma 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 feeds in the air

Sad is the song
Rolling along
Everything is happening
Wit is the tune
Are we all doomed?
Everything is happening

Father Bills gone fighting in a place where he's a stranger
But could men die a stranger in every war
We all hide in shame, boldly pointing 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

Everybody sing it now
Get it!
Get it!
