It's not the weather, it's the clouds in your eyes That bring the thunder to your skies And sitting still to wring your hands and bathe in wishful thinking Won't stop the falling rain or save your cloud-filled ship from sinking Give yourself a little time, and then you'll find Sunshine is a state of mind, sunshine is a state of mind Chains of past regret, so hard to break Bitter-sweet, addictive, the taste of heartache Lingers on your lips, and in your secret heart You hold it close to hide your fear of ever making a new start Give yourself a little time, and then you'll find Sunshine is a state of mind, sunshine is a state of mind Doubts that bring you down, clouds that leave you blind Are only in your eyes until you blink them away - leave them behind With open heart and open mind Give yourself a little time, and then you'll find Sunshine is a state of mind, sunshine is a state of mind Just wanting to believe never made it so But letting yourself dream and letting go Of the things that hold you back, wishes you know can't come true Lets you find your way, let's start today Give yourself a little time, and then you'll find Sunshine is a state of mind, sunshine is a state of mind
