Sunny Hours

Well I've strolled across some dance floors filled with girls all dressed in red
Pulled my foot from my mouth answered back to things I've said
Wandered through the valley of the shadow of the dead
Stumbled round this old sundial, there these words I read
I've only got the sunny hours, brightest hours of day
I never count the gloomy hours, I let them slip away
And I realize I'm away
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm alright y'all, I'm alright y'all
You wanna be alright you gotta walk tall

Well I woke up in too many beds with girls I didn't know
I've seen lots of brothers at top, and I've watched them come and go
And tell me why I'm not dead with them in the valley down below
I give thanks everyday for these words that save my soul
I only got the sunny hours, the brightest hours of day
I never count the gloomy hours, I let them slip away
(Don't slip away yo)
And I realize I'm away
"Come on"
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm alright y'all, alright y'all
You wanna be alright you gotta walk tall

I'm alright y'all, alright y'all (I'm alright)
You wanna be alright you gotta walk tall

Its like the wise man said,
"Relax yourself
When its moving too fast you set ya down
When the going gets tough then get to going
If you really wanna speak than make the sound
Keep your eyes on the prize and realize
That the struggles gonna come in all shapes and size
But you gotta stay strong, don't let your knees buckle
Gotta keep the hustle, keep hustling"
Do it, Do it, Do it

Let the lovin', let the lovin' come back to me
Bring it, bring it, bring it, bring it, bring it back to me

You wanna be alright you gotta walk tall
When the going get tough, the tough get going
and I'm out
