Why don't you tell me that the sky is blue?
And we're so free
Why don't you tell me why the birds all flew?
Somewhere out to sea
Look out at the meadows, oh
They're growing greener than green
Look at all the places that we've seen
Shining times are just around the corner now
Rainy days are just a shadow on my brow
We've made the grade
To the big parade
Who are sleeping in the sun?
It's a fun time for having fun
Why don't you tell me that the clouds are gone?
Things are looking fine
Why don't you tell me why the storms roll on?
Somewhere on your mind
Look out at the city, gee
It's growing faster than fast
Look at all the milestones that we've pa**ed
Shining times are just around the corner...
Shining times are just around the corner
Rainy days are just a shadow on my brow
We're the ones who are gonna do it for ourselves
We're the folks that will not stay on the shelf
Shining times...
