about

Once again, inspired by the 2011 tornado outbreak. This time, for Joplin. Red sky at night, sailor's delight. Red sky at morning, sailors take warning. No more red skies over Joplin in the morning when I walk outside.

lyrics

We still sweep streets of sorrow
Cast debris in vacant lots
We still look to tomorrow
And pray that the world ain't forgot
That the sun will shine tomorrow
The sun will shine tomorrow

Driving past some old cornfield
Crop doesn't grow there today
Farmer's home has to be rebuilt
Yeah, But he carries on anyway
Cause he knows the sun will shine tomorrow
The sun will shine tomorrow
The sun will shine tomorrow
The sun will shine tomorrow

The difference between the whispers and screams
Is starting to get to me
It gets hard to cope but God gives us hope
All you need is something to hope for
But the sun will shine, the clouds will roll
Once again, we'll find our way home
Rebuilding our lives, in faith we survive
We'll never be alone
The sun will shine

Last night I dreamed I was in Joplin
I dreamt I awoke in your arms
A reality my mind created for me
A perfect world with no alarms
Pray for no more red skies over Joplin
In the morning when I walk outside
I will survive on the blue skies and sunshine
Until the day we reunite

Just pray that the sun will shine tomorrow
Pray the sun will shine
