From the band's own website:
"The Movers – Rich, Scott, Dave and Smitty -- began in New Orleans in 2003 and now are fast-rising stars on the national kids music scene thanks to their combination of radio-friendly songs, kid-friendly themes and dynamic live shows. In concert, the Movers teach high-energy dances, play games with the audience and make music on their one-of-a-kind trashcan drumset. Kids and parents help perform new kids classics like “Shakable You,” “The Medicine Song,” “What’s in the Fridge?” and "I Want My Mommy (Time for Bed).""
and:
"In 2007, Disney Channel green-lighted a Movers television series for Playhouse Disney featuring Rich, Scott, Dave and Smitty as blue-collar brainstormers working hard to solve “idea emergencies” in their Idea Warehouse, a clearinghouse of infinite inspirations. Through songs, stories and skits, the Movers move kids to exercise their bodies and brains."
Let the Sunshine In
Imagination Movers Lyrics

Make us warm again
Let the sun shine in
Are you ready?
Let the sun shine through
Over me, over you
Let the light shine through
Make it better
Woke up this morning to a cloudy day
Snow falling down all around
How we gonna do it? How we gonna go out and play?
Deep snow is a problem, I've found
Snowflakes multiplying in the sky
Shades of winter's got us trapped inside
Let the sun shine in
Make us warm again
Let the sun shine in
Are you ready?
Let the sun shine through
Over me, over you
Let the light shine through
Make it better
Looking out the window but all we see is snow
Bad luck, guess what? We're stuck
And we've got no way to go
I said, how we gonna do it? Sun'll melt through it
Help us find our way out (Help us find our way)
Guess what? Good luck, unstuck
We're gonna melt this mammoth mountain
Wall of frozen, now we're snowed in
Freezing, falling, flaking, ice cold making
Melt it to the ground (Let's go)
Let the sun shine in
Make us warm again
Let the sun shine in
Are you ready? (Are you ready?)
Let the sun shine through
Over me, over you
Let the light shine through
Make it better
(Yeah) Let the sun shine on you
The song "Let the Sunshine In" by Imagination Movers talks about the need for warmth and light to counter the unbearable cold and darkness that winter brings. The first verse describes the dreary day as snow falls all around, and highlights the problem of being trapped inside by deep snow. The chorus has a hopeful feel to it as the band asks for the sun to shine in and make things better. The second verse narrates a situation where they are stuck inside without anywhere to go because of the snow, but they remain optimistic that the sun will eventually melt the snow, and they will be able to escape. Overall, the song is all about hope, perseverance, and the belief that better times are ahead, even in the bleakest of winters.
