Let the Sun shine

Let the sun shine again

Sing your favorite song

And forget the agonies of pain

Enjoy the magical touch of snow

As it colors meadows of the plain

Recite poetry and forget yesterday

No need to eulogize years lost in vain

Let us stay at home for a day

Listening to the music of the rain

Awaken the flowers in the wilderness

And inspire the spirit and the brain

Hug, kiss, sing, dance and play

Children feeling free to be insane

Don’t worry about missing a date

Trains come and go, and come again  

Dream of places you love

So the spirit of love is alive again

Let us travel wherever love takes us

Even the sunflower defies the rain

Let the wintry sun shine again

Sail gracefully through the clouds

Smiling with eyes or a brain

Bewitch birds to sing ancient melodies

Enchant the sane and the insane

So the joy of living is alive again

Songs awaken the spirit of belonging

Take us along the memory lane

Where memories live in peace

And love knows no fear or shame

Dreaming of a monarch butterfly

As the sun shines again, and again
