blind melon

I don't feel the suns comin' out today

its staying in,

its gonna find another way.

As I sit here in this misery,

I don't think I'll ever see the sun from here.

And oh as I fade away,

they'll all look at me and say,

and they'll say,

Hey look at him!

I'll never live that way.

But that's okay

they're just afraid to change.

When you feel your life ain't worth living

you've got to stand up

and take a look around you

then a look way up to the sky.

And when your deepest thoughts are broken,

keep on dreaming boy,

cause when you stop dreamin' it's time to die.

And as we all play parts of tomorrow,

some ways will work

and other ways we'll play.

But I know we all can't stay here forever,

so I want to write my words on the face of today.

and then they'll paint it

And oh as I fade away,

they'll all look at me and

they'll say,

Hey look at him and where he is these days.

When life is hard, you have to change.
