Sun Is Shining
Sun is shining, the weather is sweet, yeah
Make you wanna move your dancing feet now
To the rescue, here i am
Want you to know, y'all, can you understand?
When the mornin' gather the rainbow, yeah, yeah
Want you to know, i'm a rainbow too now
To the rescue, here i am
Want you to know, y'all, can you, can you, can you understand?

Sun is shining, the weather is sweet now
Make you wanna move your dancing feet, yeah
But to the rescue, here i am
Want you to know just if you can, here i stand, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no





Can you understand me now, baby?
Do you believe me?

I thought it was a hit in around 1995 in England, U.K. not 1999 .
I even remember the Funxstar Deluxe bit ! I have a good memory for music !
Fantastic and, the song is sampled again in 2013 by Stephen Marley sounding great now on Mixcloud !
