[Hook:](2x)
I need the water, need the light, if I'm gon' grow
They say that just one ray of sun can melt the coldest snow
And if we never take that chance, we'll never know
Even a smile helps some people cope and see the hope
[Part:]
I usually write my troubles away
But even Dr. Seuss couldn't help me today
I need that sunshine down on my face
I need that sunshine up in this place
And I'm a lefty, so my writings rather smeared
But even on the grey abyss, through the page I see it clear
Everything I need to succeed has been right here
So plant that seed, give it time and watch it grow, my dear
[Hook:](2x)
I need the water, need the light, if I'm gon' grow
They say that just one ray of sun can melt the coldest snow
And if we never take that chance, we'll never know
Even a smile helps some people cope and see the hope
[Outro:]
So leave your mark on this world before you go
Mhmmhmm
So leave your mark on this world before you go
Cause dark have been my hours of late, baby
So come and be my sunshine
So come and be my, my sunshine, my sunshine, my sunshine
