Morning sunshine, welcome to the world
I haven’t gotten to know you yet, but soon enough I will
Your family’s at the airport, they’re already on their way
Morning sunshine, what a stunning day
Morning sunshine, thanks for joining us
The clouds have just parted, and we’re getting warmed up
Your parents slept well last night, and they are finally refreshed
Morning sunshine, we are at our best
When you wake up with the sun rise, anything can be done
While the world is still sleeping, and you’re ready for some fun
The possibilities are endless, and the day has yet to breathe
Morning sunshine, so many opportunities
Morning sunshine, I just met you a day ago
The world is full of colors, the sounds you didn’t know
A burst of air or a passing car, you haven’t seen that yet
Morning sunshine, this sun won’t ever set
When you wake up with the sun rise, anything can be done
While the world is still sleeping, and you’re ready for some fun
The possibilities are endless, and the day has yet to breathe
Morning sunshine, so many opportunities
But did you know, it’s hard to go, on this road
My tires are worn, my tank is empty, my gas is low.
When you wake up with the sun rise, anything can be done
While the world is still sleeping, and you’re ready for some fun
The possibilities are endless, and the day has yet to breathe
Morning sunshine, so many opportunities

Make It Rain

I'm packing up some things and heading back east
For more than a few days, for at least a few weeks
I'm seeing some folks and things will change
I'll tell you that I'm gonna make it rain
I'm Gonna Make It, I'm Gonna Make It, Make it Rain
I'm Gonna Make It, I'm Gonna Make It, Make it Rain
I'm Gonna Make It, I'm Gonna Make It, Make it Rain
I'm Gonna Make It, I'm Gonna Make It, Make it Rain
There's a new day coming so pack your bags
There's a special delivery, one of those old gags
I'm visiting family, it's a new addition
I'll tell you that I'm gonna make it rain
I'm Gonna Make It, I'm Gonna Make It, Make it Rain
I'm Gonna Make It, I'm Gonna Make It, Make it Rain
I'm Gonna Make It, I'm Gonna Make It, Make it Rain
I'm Gonna Make It, I'm Gonna Make It, Make it Rain
Clouds are forming, it's a final warning
If you step outside there's nowhere to hide
All this anticipation, for this celebration
Incoming precipitation, all across the nation
I'm Gonna Make It, I'm Gonna Make It, Make it Rain
I'm Gonna Make It, I'm Gonna Make It, Make it Rain
I'm Gonna Make It, I'm Gonna Make It, Make it Rain
I'm Gonna Make It, I'm Gonna Make It, Make it Rain
I've been on the go for so long, that time's running out
Feel that drop of sweat or was it that rain cloud
It's a pressure system, it's a near collision
I'll tell you that I'm gonna make it rain
I'm Gonna Make It, I'm Gonna Make It, Make it Rain
I'm Gonna Make It, I'm Gonna Make It, Make it Rain
I'm Gonna Make It, I'm Gonna Make It, Make it Rain
I'm Gonna Make It, I'm Gonna Make It, Make it Rain

It’s almost midnight
Are you still up
Something isnt right
Is it enough
Because I’m not sleeping
I’m not dreaming
I’m not living
I’m just thinking about - oh oh
What we did babe
Get laid
Got paid
We made it up - oh oh
When, you had it all, you didn’t know (oh oh)
Then, you took a fall, it had to go (oh no)
It’s nearly midnight
Are you still up?
Turn on that bed light
Get the phone, Text and say sup?
Because I’m not sleeping
I’m not dreaming
I’m not living
I’m just thinking about - oh oh
What we did babe
Get laid
Got paid
We made it up - oh oh
When, you had it all, you didn’t know (oh oh)
Then, you took a fall, it had to go (oh no)
It’s after midnight
I’m giving up
Shut down past bed time
You’re waking up
Because I’m not sleeping
I’m not dreaming
I’m not living
I’m just thinking about - oh oh
What we did babe
Get laid
Got paid
We made it up - oh oh
When, you had it all, you didn’t know (oh oh)
Then, you took a fall, it had to go (oh no)

I hope for you to grow up and be healed in your own way
I hope for you to show up and be feel that you’re okay
I hope for this, for you to be eased of a hard life
But if you do, it’s alright
I hope for you to be able to learn about new things
I hope for you to have a smile and feel all your feelings
I hope for this for you to be eased of a hard life
But if you do, it’s alright
Chorus:
Don’t lose hope
When you’re on the ropes
Don’t lose hope
You are enough
I hope for you to try and fail and then try again
I hope for you to face adversity and leave with new friends
I hope for this, for you to be eased of a hard life
But if you do, it’s alright
Don’t lose hope
When you’re on the ropes
Don’t lose hope
You are enough
Don’t lose hope
When you’re on the ropes
Don’t lose hope
You are enough
You are enough
You are enough
You are enough

Now, is the best now ever.
A new adventure awaits.
This moment is so exciting.
What miracles can we make?
Now is the best now ever.
Never will be another.
Now is the best now ever.
The best time to begin is now.
Now is the best time ever.
Be what you want to become.
It's the best time ever
for us to come together.
Now is the best now ever.
Never will be another.
Now is the best now ever.
The best time to begin is now.
In understanding and cooperation,
hope is reborn.
Many is the illusion;
Truth, is that we are all One.
This is the best now ever.
Forever begins now.
This is the best now ever.
Forever begins now.
Now is the best now ever.
Never will be another.
Now is the best now ever.
The best time to begin is now.
In understanding and cooperation,
hope is reborn.
Many is the illusion;
Truth, is that we are all One.
This is the best now ever.
Forever begins now.
This is the best now ever.
Forever begins now.
Now is the best now ever.
Never will be another.
Now is the best now ever.
The best time to begin is now.
