[Verse 1]

Imagine looking at life through rose-tinted glasses

And the policy of the people is passive And all the women got fat asses

And all the homies got dubs and deeds to spend

And when the po-po's pass they wave and say "hi"

And wear a grin (hey)

And everybody that you meet is a potential friend

And the women in your life love you for yourself and not your ends

And the population's real so there's no reason to pretend

And ignore we are the same, so no one hates you for the colour of your skin

And every waking thought is one of peace and harmony and bliss

That simple satisfaction like a plate of eggs and grits

Senses fully alive like the feeling of a first kiss

And when it's check out time you got a smile on your lips, huh

And the whole world is like a next-door neighbour

Quick to do you a favour even though we come in a million different flavours

And I know there's not enough time to put it all in one rhyme

So I savour the flavour and sweet taste I feel from the rays of the

sunshine



[Chorus - Woman singing]

Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii'm sittin in the sunshine

The sunshine, like the world was mine, the sunshine

Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii'm walkin in the sunshine

The sunshine, like the world was mine, the sunshine



[Verse 2]

If love was a flower I'd spread the petals about the planet And plant seeds

throughout every city and country

Even in those who do not want me

I try to make some sense of the situation that we call life

Some, verbal illustration to help ease this strife

Some, lyrical penetration to try to make things right

In hopes that what I'm saying can saturate your mindframe

And help you with the pain and the strain of the everyday struggle

I don't need it all, I
