Let The Sun Shine
Helen Austin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And let the day be anything you want it to
Let the sunshine brighten up your life
And the moment be anything you like so
Uh oh
Let the sunshine in
Uh oh
Uh oh
Let the sunshine in
Uh oh
Let the sunshine in
Let the sunshine melt those clouds away
And let the chance for anything you want to come your way
Let the sunshine lighten up your skies
And let the wonder of it all unfold before your eyes so
Uh oh
Let the sunshine in
Uh oh
Let the sunshine in
Uh oh
Let the sunshine in
Uh oh
Let the sunshine in
And if you find you hide behind a little grey cloud
It's time to step into the sun
Shout it out loud
Let the sunshine in
Let the sunshine in
Let the sunshine in
Let the sunshine in
You gotta let it shine
You gotta let it shine
You gotta let it shine
You gotta let it shine
Let the sunshine pour all over you
And let you heart do anything you want it to so
Uh oh
Let the sunshine in
Uh oh

Let the sunshine in
Uh oh
Let the sunshine in
You gotta let the sun shine
Helen Austin's song "Let the Sun Shine In" is an uplifting call to embrace positivity and the joy of life. The lyrics encourage the listener to let the sunshine into their life, to let go of any negativity or doubts, and to open themselves up to the possibilities of the world. The repeated "Uh oh" refrain gives a sense of excitement and urgency, urging the listener to take action and let the sunshine in. The song suggests that by doing so, one can melt away any troubles, bring opportunities for happiness, and experience the wonder of life.
One interesting aspect of the song is the use of repetition not just in the refrain, but also with the repeated use of the word "so" at the end of each verse. This gives a sense of progression or build-up, as if each verse is leading to the next and building towards a climax. Additionally, the song has a sing-along quality, with simple and catchy lyrics that are easy to remember and repeat. This makes the song well-suited for group performances or for creating a sense of community or togetherness.
Another interesting fact about the song is that it was written and recorded by Helen Austin as part of the RPM Challenge, which encourages musicians to write and record an album in one month. Austin wrote and recorded the song in just a few days, demonstrating her creativity and musical talent. The song has since become one of her most popular and well-known tracks.
