When the sun don't shine
And the day goes by
When the lights go out
And your tears don't dry
When the sun don't shine
And you're tumblin' down
I will open up the sky
Yeah
Father, I gotta confess
Woke up this morning, I'm blessed
Remember my life was a mess
I got the need to address that
I've been a sinner before
I cannot take it no more
Ride every high being broke
Smokin' and cookin' that shit, they don't like it
But if they don't like it, I go
Money on trees doesn't grow
Neither can freedom be bought
I'm runnin' the power to float
Father, I need your advice
Stop me, not rollin' the dice
Wanna treat everyone nice
Why they keep throwing the knives then?
Why is it takin' so long?
You know my Nikes are worn
My momma, she probably knows
I've been not smokin' it
Smokin' and cookin' that shit
Laughin' my troubles away
My heart is weak but it's free
They don't got nothin' on me
When the sun don't shine
And the day goes by
When the lights go out
And your tears don't dry
When the sun don't shine
And you're tumblin' down
I will open up the sky
Yeah
Father, I know it feels right
Puttin' my ego aside
You need to be more precise
How do I follow the light when
I don't know nothin' 'bout me?
Wanna do what I prefer
Everyone's rollin' their eyes
When I don't care about the things that I like, yeah
Why are you wastin' your time?
Why do you dream like a child?
What are you doin' it for?
You don't know nothin' 'bout work
Tell a lie, "Need no advice"
They be like, "What a surprise"
I know the sun will arise
Up, and not tellin' no lies, no
Fater, I do what I love
One hundred down to the core
Forgive me for not being sure
You know I've been here before
(Standing on the roof, below the stars)
When the sun don't shine
And the day goes by
When the lights go out
And your tears don't dry
When the sun don't shine
And you're tumblin' down
I will open up the sky
Yeah
