Sunshine

I don't want this right now, I need this forever
'Cause it's always better to have it later than never
I need this to last, forget my past efforts
'Cause it's never easy to avoid all this bad weather
All it takes is giving it a little time
'Cause everybody has what it takes to be someone
It's foolish to think that you're the only one who can shine
'Cause you know everybody lives under the sun

I've been falling down, but I haven't been failing now
I've been praying to God every day, hoping he could hear me now
I've been counting down these days, I'm so dreary now
I know I don't see the road to success anymore clearly now
I am falling down, watch these words make me drown
False promises and stolen dreams are what makes this world go round
Not everyone can shout, but they can make a sound
So it's best if you be all you can be right now
I don't want this right now, I need this for all my life
I don't slip when I'm in the middle of all this strife
I'm not moving fast, so I'm taking my time
There can't be any shade under all this light
I'm aiming high, I'm aiming for the sky
You can't take aim if you don't know what to find
When the rain pours down, just give it a little time
When there are no rainy days, all I can do is shine

I don't want this right now, I need this forever
'Cause it's always better to have it later than never
I need this to last, forget my past efforts
'Cause it's never easy to avoid all this bad weather
All it takes is giving it a little time
'Cause everybody has what it takes to be someone
It's foolish to think that you're the only one who can shine
'Cause you know everybody lives under the sun

I've been looking up, I've been feeling up
'Though each day each week has got me in the rough
I've been looking up, 'cause my time isn't up
I've been aiming higher to shoot for more than what's enough
I've been aiming higher just to make a mark
You can't see or shine when you're in the dark
If you're trying to live up to take the part
Picking up the pace would just be the start
I don't slip when the rain pours down on me
I sleep sound when the rain pours down on me
Having peace of mind right now is a luxury
If you can't think straight right now, find some clarity
You can't have this right now if you don't know what to find
If you can't see right now, read between the lines
It's foolish to think that you're the only one who can shine
'Cause you know everybody lives under all this sunshine

I don't want this right now, I need this forever
'Cause it's always better to have it later than never
I need this to last, forget my past efforts
'Cause it's never easy to avoid all this bad weather
All it takes is giving it a little time
'Cause everybody has what it takes to be someone
It's foolish to think that you're the only one who can shine
'Cause you know everybody lives under the sun
