Hello Sunshine by David Rector

INTRO:
Hello, (hello) sunshine.
It’s mighty good to see your sunshine.
Hello, (hello) sunshine.
It’s been dark for a very long time.

VI:
I can’t explain what I’ve been through.
Trying to live my life without you.
People say, I act so strange, but you’ve got the power to make it all change.

CHORUS/RAP:
Someone said Covid was a big, big joke.
The giant was sleep, but now we woke.
Just like David, we’ve got our sling.
Now it’s time to stop this thing.
This ain’t no cold and this ain’t no flu.
Our children wanna go back to school.
It’s been dark for a very long time.

BRIDGE:
Without your sunshine.
The world is just a lonely place.
Without your sunshine.
My heart is just an empty space.
Without your sunshine.
The wind and the rain, the wonders of Spring.
They just don’t mean a thing.

MODULATION:
Without your sunshine.
Without your sunshine.
Without your sunshine.

VII:
Now I know everything is alright. (You know).
No more pain, no more sleepless nights.
My days were dark, but now I see.
Because my sunshine has come home to me.

CHORUS/RAP:
At first thought that this was a big, big joke.
The giant was sleep, but now we woke.
Just like David, we’ve got our sling.
Now it’s time to stop this thing.
This ain’t no cold and this ain’t no flu.
Our children wanna go back to school.
I spilled some water on my mask. (Hello)
Someday soon, I’ll be free at last.
My doctor said, “Roll up your sleeve.:
I said to her, “I like your weave.”
Wipe that down, scrub that up.
One pandemic is enough.
When they told me that my brother was sick. (Hello)
I got religious real, real quick.
We couldn’t go to work.
We were running out of food.
Water and toilet paper was my crude.
Oil that is Texas Pete.
The preacher told the congregation, “We can’t meet.”
When daddy passed away, we had to Zoom. (Hello)
The undertaker said, “We’ve got no room.”
For the past year, I’ve worked from home.
Granny, I’m sorry you’re all alone.
This is for the doctors and the nurses too.
Anybody working on the medical crew.
Thanks for all the work you’ve done. (Hello).
It’s almost over; here comes the sun.
Do your part. Wear your mask. Six feet away. That’s your task.
I never wanna go through this again.
This war is one we’ve got to win.
