sun shines brighter

In the midst of the mundane and in the midst of the turmoil
The sun can always shine in your soul, flowers can blossom in your heart
If things are at peace, and no pain is hitting you, the sun shines then too
Today is a new day, it's a day to live, to make new dreams and provide more kindness
The clouds can't keep the sun away
So don't tell it it can
Take off your sunglasses and smile about today
Smile in the thought that you are alive
This is a gift, not a burden, this thing we've called life, it is a gift
already opened unwrapped and in your lap
Don't leave it outside and forget its presence
Don't hide it in a closet and let the shadows live your life
You are a soul who's all its own, and if we don't know you, there won't be another you to know
You are the first, and you are the last, let us breath in your nature
Let us look in your eyes and hold peace together
Because today is all we have right now
Take off your sunglasses so you can truly see the sun, there is no reason to shade it from your heart

The sun shines brighter when you smile
