Lyrics of The Shadow Proves The Sunshine - Switchfoot

Sunshine, won’t you be my mother?
Sunshine, come and help me sing
My heart is darker than these oceans
My heart is frozen underneath

We are crooked souls trying to stay up straight
Dry eyes in the pouring rain
Where the shadow proves the sunshine
The shadow proves the sunshine

Two scared little runaways
Hold fast till the break of daylight when
The shadow proves the sunshine
The shadow proves the sunshine

Oh, Lord, why did you forsake me?
Oh, Lord, don’t be far away, away
Storm clouds gathering beside me
Please, Lord, don’t look the other way

I’m a crooked soul trying to stay up straight
Dry eyes in the pouring rain
Where the shadow proves the sunshine,
the shadow proves the sunshine

Two scared little runaways
Hold fast till the break of daylight when
The shadow proves the sunshine
The shadow proves the sunshine

Yeah, yeah!
Shine on me!

Yeah, yeah!
Shine on me!

Yeah, yeah!
Shine on me!

Yeah, yeah! (shine on me)

(Oh!)

(Oh!)

(Oh!)

We are crooked souls trying to stay up straight
Dry eyes in the pouring rain
Where the shadow proves the sunshine
The shadow proves the sunshine

Two scared little runaways
Hold fast till the break of daylight when
The shadow proves the sunshine
The shadow proves the sunshine

Yeah, yeah!
Shine on me!

Yeah, yeah!
Shine on me!

Yeah, yeah!
Shine on me!

Shine on me!
Let my shadows prove the sunshine!
