Sunshine On The Land Lyrics - David Wilcox

I went to see an old friend 

Who was soon to pass away 

He said, "My life has been so good to me 

Now I've still got one more day" 

Now he said that as he watched the morning sun 

And then he smiled my way 

Because he said that every morning 

He'd lived his life that way 

He said, "I am the sunshine 

You are the sunshine 

We are the sunshine 

Help me understand 

We are the sunshine on the land" 

He said this day is like a life you live 

It's never here to stay 

Because your time is always runnin' by 

Like the sun across the day 

But it's like lookin' at the sunshine from the earth 

The light does come and go 

But when you're lookin' at the earth shine from the sun 

It's quite a different show 

He said it's time you know 

That I am the sunshine 

You are the sunshine 

We are the sunshine 

Help me understand 

We are the sunshine on the land 

Now I'm thinkin' of the things he said 

We're walkin' toward the grave 

And I haven't lived a life like his 

But I've still got one more day 

Now you could say it's only flesh and bone 

The life that's in your hands 

But I like to think it's something more 

Like the sunshine on the land 

And I am the sunshine 

You are the sunshine 

We are the sunshine 

Help me understand 

We are the sunshine on the land 

We are the sunshine on the land
