lyrics

SUNSHINE AND RAIN

Taken from my homeland, put in chains and locked away
Crying out in desperation, I’m carried away
Locked up in this prison cell, my deeds they did not pay
For the other man goes free. I’m alone but why not he.

The cold and loneliness it aches right to my bones
The rats are the only friends I know
I’m sentenced here to die when I should be going home
If there is love it does not show

Crushed by the universe my sense is getting weak
I am just a pinprick ‘gainst the sky
I’m troubled and my mouth it will not let me speak
Is this the time that I should die?

Oh take me away to the place where there’s sunshine and rain
Oh take me away. I don’t want to die ever again

My dreams, my fears, my nightmares are closing in on me
There’s not but one place I can hide
The time is drawing near, I wish that I could see
If there’s still something here inside

Oh take me away from the dark to the sunshine and rain
Oh take me away. I don’t want to cry ever again

My brothers sent me here, they sent me here to die
That is a price I should not pay
My wings are broken, there’s not room in here to fly
Oh will I ever see the day

“Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.
They are brought to their knees and fall,
but we rise up and stand firm.
O LORD, save the king!
Answer us when we call!”
