Lyrics
Let's sing along with the lyrics!
Oh my, just another day
When I look in the mirror and I am turning pretty truly grey
And I ain't waiting around this town for my ship to come in
We can't spend half our lives just day dreaming
One of these days, baby, and it won't be long
We're outta here, over that horizon
The day will come, we'll be walking in the sunshine
All I want is a better life for you and me
Far away, it'll be an odyssey
Hand in hand and we'll be walking in the sunshine
Come on, girls
And we'll be walking in the sunshine
Oh my, these are scary times
There's bullets flying and streets are burning, I've a worried mind
I find my deliverance by the riverside
And I'll bathe my head in the cool, cool water and be satisfied
Yes I will
One of these days, baby, and it won't be long
We're outta here, over that horizon
The day will come, we'll be walking in the sunshine
All I want is a better life for you and me
Far away, it'll be an odyssey
Hand in hand and we'll be walking in the sunshine
Come on, girls
And we'll be walking in the sunshine
Let's set sail for a brand new life
Where the vines and the olives grow
Full steam ahead to a foreign land
Where the weather suits, the weather suits
The weather suits my clothes
One of these days, baby, and it won't be long
We're outta here, over that horizon
That day will come that we'll be walking in the sunshine
All I want is a better life for you and me
Far away, it'll be an odyssey
We'll be free and we'll be walking in the sunshine
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Walking in the sunshine
