1968

When I awoke this mornin'
Something inside of me
Told me this would be my day
I heard the morning train
I felt the wind change
Too many times I'm on my way

Come on sunshine
What can you show me
Where can you take me
To make me understand
The wind can shake me
Brothers forsake me
The rain can touch me
But, can I touch the rain?

And, then, I saw the sunrise
Above the cotton sky
Like a candycane delight
I saw the milkman
I saw the business man
I saw the only road in sight
Then I got to thinkin':
What makes you want to go
To know the wherefore and the why?
So many times now
oh! Lord, I can't remember
If it's September or July

Come on sunshine
What can you show me
Where can you take me
To make me understand?
The wind can shake me
Brothers forsake me
The rain can touch me
But, can I touch the rain?

Then all at once, it came to me
I saw the wherefore
And you can see it if you try
It's in the sun above
It's in the one you love
You'll never know the reason why

Come on sunshine
What can you show me
Where can you take me
To make me understand?
The wind can shake me
Brothers forsake me
The rain can touch me
But, can I touch the rain?

So much to lose
So much to gain
