Sunny Days
Grits Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trees blow with hues and grays
To be one who submits and prays
Into the heart of God I gaze these sunny days
These sunny days, colorful arrays
Trees blow with hues and grays
To be one who submits and prays
These sunny days, colorful arrays
Trees blow with hues and grays
To be one who submits and prays
Into the heart of God I gaze these sunny days
These sunny days, colorful arrays
Trees blow with hues and grays
To be one who submits and prays
Into the heart of God I gaze these sunny days
I thought I'd take a minute I hope I didn't catch you by surprise
I got a lesson learner fact or fiction swoop through your demise
Open eyes and givin' clear vision the windows broken from
The pain of livin' here wishin'
You could survive with those who gave lives
Avoid the cracks and moats of new age turncoats
And modern day cut throats
What makes it shroom blossom and boom a murmer in a gossipin' room
My Jesus comin' back possibly soon
Anticipate his shown up
Anticipate we praise desire for grown up
The author and finisher of faith
Offerin' a diminishin' gas face rememberin' who in last place
No sell out through global fall out go all out
Make a hundred your percentage forget buyin' the mall out
Or palm greases thirty pieces sent to those offended
But like Judas you won't ever get to spend it
These sunny days, colorful arrays
Trees blow with hues and grays
To be one who submits and prays
Into the heart of God I gaze these sunny days
These sunny days, colorful arrays
Trees blow with hues and grays
To be one who submits and prays
Into the heart of God I gaze these sunny days
Well lemme get a little lotta bita some of that too
And I hope it ain't too non ghetto to seep through
And keep you twisted and locked like dreads do
Who said you wasn't gonna feel the heat of the rays
But anyways man it's funny how the sight of such a beautiful day
Can deliver you joy and bring pain in the same way
Like blessin' with the same mouth
While cursin' in the same breathe
Or livin' life dyin' death, so deceived to the eye
How red blood is blue and rainbows are see through
Its all to teach you that you can't depend on me
It's Like drivin' a Benz 20 inch rims drop top six with the tank on E
So down that you fly, so true that you gotta lie
I really pray you come to realize
You in the shade with the sun in your eye
Sun in your eye on sunny days
These sunny days, colorful arrays
Trees blow with hues and grays
To be one who submits and prays
Into the heart of God I gaze these sunny days
These sunny days, colorful arrays
Trees blow with hues and grays
To be one who submits and prays
Into the heart of God I gaze these sunny days
These sunny days, colorful arrays
Trees blow with hues and grays
To be one who submits and prays
Into the heart of God I gaze these sunny days
These sunny days, colorful arrays
Trees blow with hues and grays
To be one who submits and prays
Into the heart of God I gaze these sunny days
These sunny days, colorful arrays
These sunny days, colorful arrays
Trees blow with hues and grays
To be one who submits and prays
Into the heart of God I gaze these sunny days
These sunny days, colorful arrays
These sunny days, colorful arrays
Trees blow with hues and grays
To be one who submits and prays
Into the heart of God I gaze these sunny days
These sunny days, colorful arrays
