Sunday Shining Lyrics
Finley Quaye
Lyrics
Make it
Sun is shining, the weather is sweet, yeah
It makes you wanna move those dancing feet
For the rescue, uh, here I am
I want you to know y'all, here I stand
As the morning gathers a rainbow
I want you to know now, that I'm a rainbow with you
'Cause I'm a hero like Robert de Niro
I know an Ital Rasta man
I Got to keep I height
Protection until' time, the sun is shining, yeah
War is explosive
You got to demonstrate
Demonstrate, you got to demonstrate
Don't fight
'Cause the sun is shining, for you
There's nothing else to do
Sun is shining, the weather is sweet, yeah
It makes you wanna move those dancing feet
To the rescue, uh, here I am
I want you to know y'all, here I stand
As the morning gathers a rainbow
I want you to know now, that I'm a rainbow with you
Whoa, whoa, whoa yeah
Test the eye, test the eye
Fear no evil
Channel like a lion, channel like a lion
Some say, yeah
Money in my
One-on-one
Money in my pocket
But I just can't get your love
Some say, yeah
And the sun is shinin', don't fight
And you got soul, and you're choppin' it up aero
For you, there's nothin' else to do
Sun is shining, the weather is sweet, yeah
It makes you wanna move those dancing feet
To the rescue, uh, here I am
I want you to know now, here I stand
As the morning gathers a rainbow
I want you to know now, that I'm a rainbow with you
As the morning gathers a rainbow, I'm rougher than rough
'Cause I'm a rainbow with you
Tougher than tough
Channel like a lion, yeah
This is some fashion, yeah
Spiritual fashion, yeah
Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah
Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah
