The Boy vs The Cynic cover
06. Sunshine
Album: The Boy vs The Cynic
Artist: John Reuben
         
 

It’s one of those moments in life when you feel incapable
I tried to hide but the feelings inside are sort of inescapable
And everything that I’ve become suddenly feels replaceable
And now I’m left to my inadequacy you get the point
All my goals seem out of reach and unattainable
Your thoughts get lost in the shuffle and become unexplainable
No words to match the emotion that I’m roller-coasting on
Just feelings of devotion and hope and that someday soon they’ll be gone

(chorus)
I know lessons are learned through perserverence and
I know I grow and when I can adhere to this
It’s just hard sometimes to keep yourself a good perspective
But God controls the hands of time
And when the time is right I’ll be perfected

Even when what lies ahead seems so unbearable
God’s grace is still so remarkable
Yea I can face any day with a faith that exceeds time and space
Lord give me the strength to change the pace
Cuz I’ve been burning on energy that was meant to be directed differently
No wonder we find ourselves empty worn out and burned out
With how things have turned out
We’ve learned how to cope but this whole thing is broke down and not working
Typical earthling searching for a system a coping mechanism
Listen we’re not meant to carry the load or bear these burdens on our own
I’m tired of living in survival mode
Gonna give it up and let it go

(chorus)

Give me some sunshine to clear my mind
And in the meantime I know that I’m gonna be just fine
