The Sun Shines Down
By Michael Erker
Sunday morning
I lie awake and I
wonder what I will become?
What will lie
behind me in my
wake? Will I
be alone?
echoed words
speaking of redemption
in a church
I never see.
put it off
another week
but I never put it down.
Cause the sun shines down
on me, the same it shines
down on you.
no matter what I do.
My daddy grew up a
poor man, in a
land of wealth.
What he lacked in riches
he made up in
wisdom and in health.
He said, "Tell me
son what are you
gonna be?
Just make your mother
smile. There goes my
son on a thousand mile
march to make himself
into a man."
Echoed words speaking
of redemption from a
man I must believe.
He never lead me
to a lion's den that
I couldn't defeat.
He says, "The sun shines
down the same on me
and you.
Yes the sun shines down
the same on me and you.
It's what you do with
the light that gets you
through.
