Lyrics
I Wish the Sun Could Shine on Me
Music & Lyrics by Nikki O’Neill
the skyline’s tall, the streets are gritty
I wish the sun could shine on me
why does it hide from me
I want to be a rose and not a seed
the skyline’s tall, the streets are gritty
life is hard in New York City
I wish the sun could shine on me
I just got a letter it’s typed in red
I wish the sun could shine on me
why does it hide from me
I try to pay my rent but I can’t succeed
I just got a letter it’s typed in red
my landlord wishes I was dead
I wish the sun could shine on me
I’m a stranger in this world of cold hard cash
I almost get a job, then they take a pass
I am going nowhere fast
I’m a stranger in this world of cold hard cash
every little promise turns to smoke and ash
Lord, I’m going nowhere fast
my jacket’s thin and the winds wail
I wish the sun could shine on me
why does it hide from me
I’m calling to you, Jesus, can’t you hear
my plea
my jacket’s thin and the winds wail
Lord, please let this rose prevail
I wish the sun could shine on me
