I`ve been down on my luck,
I`ve been shadowed with trouble and sorrow.
But I ain`t givin` up`
`Cause I know there is always tomorrow.
There are no guarantees,
Life is always a hit or miss.
But I truly believe
I won`t always be feeling` like this.
I`m gonna shine like the sun
When these clouds roll away from my door.
When it`s all said and done
I won`t be at your mercy no more.
I will prove my own worth,
Heal the damage and hurt that`s been done.
And when the cryin`s all done.
Well, I`m gonna shine like the sun.
I`ve been thinking here lately
What all I can do to improve.
Though I`ve suffered greatly,
I know just what I have to do.
I have to move forward,
Cut losses, break loose and move on.
And I have to swim shoreward
Lest I should drown out here alone.
I`m gonna shine like the sun
When these clouds roll away from my door.
I won`t crawl I can run
I`ll be at no ones mercy no more.
I`ll be swinging on sunbeams
So proud that I finally won.
And when the losin`s all done.
Well, I`m gonna shine like the sun.
I`m gonna shine, I`m gonna shine.
I`m gonna shine like the sun.
When these clouds roll away from my door.
And when it`s all said and done
I won`t be at your mercy no more.
I`ll be off chasin` rainbows,
Rejoicin` and havin` my fun.
And when the cryin`s all done,
Well, I`m gonna shine like the sun.
When the cryin`s all done,
When the tryin`s all done,
When the lyin`s all done
There`ll be nothin` but sun.
When it`s all said and done
Well, I`m gonna shine like the sun.
Shine like the sun, shine like the sun.
