Once the sun was shining and the skies were blue
Then the clouds and the wind and the sky went dim
The one where the cardinals once flew
Far in the distance over the water and sand
On the ground where I stand
The sun will shine I know it will
And the birds will soar and may land right on your window sill
So right now the skies are dark and the sun won't shine .....but I will wipe this tear from my eye
For this I shall change before I die
