When The Sun Don't Shine

(album: When The Sun Don't Shine - 2023)

When the sun don't shine
And the day goes by
When the lights go out
And your tears don't dry
When the sun don't shine
And you're tumbling down
I will open up the sky
Yeah

Father, I gotta confess
Woke up this morning, I'm blessed
Remember my life was a mess
I got the need to address that
I've been a sinner before
I cannot take it no more
Ride every high being broke
Smoking and cooking that shit, they don't like it

But if they don't like it, I go
Money on trees doesn't grow
Neither can freedom be bought
I'm running the power to float
Father, I need your advice
Stop me, not rolling the dice
Wanna treat everyone nice
Why they keep throwing the knives then?

Why is it taking so long?
You know my Nikes are worn
My momma, she probably knows
I've been not smoking it
Smoking and cooking that shit
Laughing my troubles away
My heart is weak but it's free
They don't got nothing on me

When the sun don't shine
And the day goes by
When the lights go out
And your tears don't dry
When the sun don't shine
And you're tumbling down
I will open up the sky
Yeah

Father, I know it feels right
Putting my ego aside
You need to be more precise
How do I follow the light when
I don't know nothing 'bout me?
Wanna do what I prefer
Everyone's rolling their eyes
When I don't care about the things that I like, yeah
Why are you wasting your time?
Why do you dream like a child?

What are you doing it for?
You don't know nothing 'bout work
Tell a lie, "Need no advice"
They be like, "What a surprise"
I know the sun will arise
Up, and not telling no lies, no
Fater, I do what I love
One hundred down to the core
Forgive me for not being sure
You know I've been here before

(Standing on the roof, below the stars)

When the sun don't shine
And the day goes by
When the lights go out
And your tears don't dry
When the sun don't shine
And you're tumbling down
I will open up the sky
Yeah
