The thunder echoes from the mountains to the waves Sometimes I wish I could tell the clouds to behave Calm the stormy seas just by stretching out my hand But I am just a man, only a man so I'm Praying for sunny days to return to me Seeking the warmth of the solar rays I'm not just seeing the grey skies in front of me Praying for sunny days This torrential downpour has my brain in a trance I'd get up and move, but I just can't dance Lord, You know that I've done all that I can But I am just a man, only a man so I'm Praying for sunny days to return to me Seeking the warmth of the solar rays I'm not just seeing the grey skies in front of me Praying for sunny days Rain, rain go away, I have faith that you won't stay I don't care what doubters say, sunny days will come my way Then the birds come out to play by the light of one sun ray Now I kneel me down to pray, please God give me sunny days So am praying for sunny days to return to me Seeking the warmth of the solar rays I'm not just seeing the grey skies in front of me Praying for sunny days So am praying for sunny days So am praying for sunny days So am praying for sunny days
