Pocketful of Sunshine
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine
I got a love and I know that it's all mine, oh, oh
Do what you want, but you're never gonna break me
Sticks and stones are never gonna shake me, oh, oh
I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine
Wish that you could, but you ain't gonna own me
Do anything you want, you can't slow me down, oh no
Take me away, a secret place
A sweet escape, take me away
Take me away to better days
Take me away, a hiding place
I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine
I got a love and I know that it's all mine, oh, oh
Do what you want, but you're never gonna break me
Sticks and stones are never gonna shake me, oh, oh
Take me away, a secret place
A sweet escape, take me away
Take me away to better days
Take me away, a hiding place
There's a place that I go that nobody knows
Where the rivers flow and I call it home
Where there's no more lies, in darkness there's light
And nobody cries, there's only butterflies
Take me away, a secret place
A sweet escape, take me away
Take me away to better days
Take me away, a hiding place
Take me away, a secret place
A sweet escape, take me away
Take me away to better days
Take me away, a hiding place
The sun is on my side, come take me for a ride
I smile up to the sky, I know I'll be all right
The sun is on my side, come take me for a ride
I smile up to the sky, I know I'll be all right
