I´ve been down on my luck,
I´ve been shadowed with trouble and sorrow.
But I ain´t givin´ up´
´Cause I know there is always tomorrow.
There are no guarantees,
Life is always a hit or miss.
But I truly believe
I won´t always be feeling´ like this.
I´m gonna shine like the sun
When these clouds roll away from my door.
When it´s all said and done
I won´t be at your mercy no more.
I will prove my own worth,
Heal the damage and hurt that´s been done.
And when the cryin´s all done.
Well, I´m gonna shine like the sun.
I´ve been thinking here lately
What all I can do to improve.
Though I´ve suffered greatly,
I know just what I have to do.
I have to move forward,
Cut losses, break loose and move on.
And I have to swim shoreward
Lest I should drown out here alone.
I´m gonna shine like the sun
When these clouds roll away from my door.
I won´t crawl I can run
I´ll be at no ones mercy no more.
I´ll be swinging on sunbeams
So proud that I finally won.
And when the losin´s all done.
Well, I´m gonna shine like the sun.
I´m gonna shine, I´m gonna shine.
I´m gonna shine like the sun.
When these clouds roll away from my door.
And when it´s all said and done
I won´t be at your mercy no more.
I´ll be off chasin´ rainbows,
Rejoicin´ and havin´ my fun.
And when the cryin´s all done,
Well, I´m gonna shine like the sun.
When the cryin´s all done,
When the tryin´s all done,
When the lyin´s all done
There´ll be nothin´ but sun.
When it´s all said and done
Well, I´m gonna shine like the sun.
Shine like the sun, shine like the sun.
