TRACK FIVE, SONG: “SUNSHINE FOLLOWS THE RAIN”

SUNSHINE FOLLOWS THE RAIN Jim Novak, 2020

I’m American, I’m always moving on
Through endless forest, to a western star
Evening’s fallen on my loneliness
Tall grass grows on a breaking heart

Walking, with a bag of seeds, beneath a thickening sky

Sunshine follows the rain
So I believe, even when I’m wet
What you give is what you gain
I’m a little bit ragged but I don’t forget
That sunshine follows the rain.

Democracy, we live it day by day
In community, each one has a say
Problems take a toll you know
In gardens, plants unroll and grow

Wandering with a bag of dreams, beneath a thickening sky

Sunshine follows the rain
So I believe, even when I’m wet
What you give is what you gain
I’m a little bit ragged but I don’t forget
That sunshine follows the rain.
