"Standing in the Sun"

By: Mike Farris

Performed by: The Screamin' Cheetah Wheelies

Standing in the sun
Watching all the people have their fun

I wonder, do they realize
They’re a gift to me from the skies above

We’ve all been forsaken by cleverness and greed
From out of all of this
We still rise above to clean each other’s feet

And baby! You better believe
You’ve got two strong eyes to see

Everything under the sun
Is like a rip in the night
Almost blinding my eyes

And if the greatest gift here is you and me dear
Everything will be alright

Eight O’clock school bell chimes
Little butts are squirming in their seats

Mrs. Jones is on the telephone
Makin’ plans with someone they’re all going to meet

She understands their needs
Even when she doesn’t understand her own

And when they ask for water
She’ll never, never bring them a stone

And baby! You better believe
You’ve got two strong eyes to see

Everything under the sun
Is like a rip in the night
Almost blinding my eyes

And if the greatest gift here is you and me dear
Everything will be alright

Everybody’s makin’ plans … Yes, to move on up!
Never havin’ to stand in line to drink from the lovin’ cup

Woman shoutin’ “Murder!”
Others screamin’ “Please!”

Someone whispered, “Jesus is here!”
(we all fell to our knees)

And baby! You better believe
You’ve got two strong eyes to see

Everything under the sun
Is like a rip in the night
Almost blinding my eyes

And if the greatest gift here is you and me dear
Everything will be alright
