Song Lyrics

You woke up this mornin'
Stumbled outta bed
You turned on the TV
And it messed up your head
I understand that you feel hopeless
But now think of this instead
We're all in this together
You're my friend until the end
I know that you feel lonely
But you are not alone
There's a sacred place out there
I know that we can go
Where we'll be wrapped inside the music
Just let it shake your bones
I promise you'll feel better
By the time that we get home

Oh when the sun begins to shine
When the sun begins to shine
We'll walk right through the darkness
Out into the light
Oh when the sun begins to shine
(Shake me down honey)
(Shake me down tonight)
(Shake me down honey)
(Shake me down tonight)
(Shake me down honey)
(Shake me down tonight)
(Shake me down honey)
(Shake me down tonight)

They say there is no future
Cause they're still in the past
But I can see it coming
And they're shaking
When they ask me
Bout the future
And I tell you
That everything is all all right, all right

Oh when the sun begins to shine
When the sun begins to shine
We'll walk right through the darkness
Out into the light
Oh when the sun begins to shine
(Shake me down honey)
(Shake me down tonight)
(Shake me down honey)
(Shake me down tonight)
(Shake me down honey)
(Shake me down tonight)
(Shake me down honey)
(Shake me down tonight)

Oh when the sun begins to shine
When the sun begins to shine
We'll walk right through the darkness
Out into the light
Oh when the sun begins to shine

Oh when the sun begins to shine
When the sun begins to shine
We'll walk right through the darkness
Out into the light
Oh when the sun begins to shine

Oh when the sun begins to shine
When the sun begins to shine
We'll walk right through the darkness
Out into the light
Oh when the sun begins to shine
(Shake me down honey)
(Shake me down tonight)
(Shake me down honey)
(Shake me down tonight)
(Shake me down honey)
(Shake me down tonight)
(Shake me down honey)
(Shake me down tonight)

Oh when the sun begins to shine
When the sun begins to shine
We'll walk right through the darkness
Out into the light
Oh when the sun begins to shine
