I Choose the Sunshine

Story Behind The Song

Lyrics

I Choose the Sunshine
Music & Lyrics by Tonya Leigh Showalter

Chorus 1: Yes, I choose the sunshine when the rain comes out instead. Yes, often it is dismal, but I still choose to dance.

v1: The clouds roll in, day resembles night. Peace glimmers on, you must look closer, closer.

Repeat Chorus1

v2: Plans break like storms, sacred looks like filth. God is still in charge, so sun can break in, let it.

Chorus 2: You can choose the sunshine when the rain comes out instead. Often it is dismal, but you can choose to dance.

Repeat Chorus 1
