Let The Sun Shine
Labrinth feat. Wretch 32 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel a cold flush going through my hair
And hey you know what
I dont even care
The time has passed me by
Its gone with the wind
Its only cus the sun shined once again
Now the party’s on
Everybody’s there

And if you dont know anyone
You’ll still meet some new friends
That’s the way it is
When I have myself a drink
Its only cus the sun shines once again

Let the sun shine
Let the sun shine baby
Let it all go
Let it all go baby
Let the sun shine
Let the sun shine baby
Let it all go
Let it all go baby

So turn the lights off
Aint no one afraid
When the night comes
It’ll be just like the day
And without the day
I am glowing from within
Only cus the sun shined once again
So play that sweet tune
Play it through the air
And the volume
Blaze it up
Don't you ask me twice
You know I'm gonna bid
Only cause the sun shined once again

Let the sun shine
Let the sun shine baby
Let it all go
Let it all go baby
Let the sun shine
Let the sun shine baby
Let it all go
Let it all go baby

I know that the world is gonna smile again
When we go from the darkness into the light
Oh
Let the sun shine
Let the sun shine

Let the sun shine
Let the sun shine baby
Let it all go
Let it all go baby
Let the sun shine
Let the sun shine baby
Let it all go
Let it all go baby
Let it all go baby

Let the sun shine yeah eh ey yeah

I feel a cold flush going through my hair
I am experiencing a sensation of discomfort in my body

And hey you know what
I have something to say

I dont even care
I am indifferent to something

The time has passed me by
I have missed an opportunity

Its gone with the wind
The opportunity has disappeared forever

Its only cus the sun shined once again
My mood has improved because of the presence of the sun

Now the party’s on
A celebration has started

Everybody’s there
All of the invited guests are present

And if you dont know anyone
If you are unfamiliar with the other guests

You’ll still meet some new friends
You will make new acquaintances

That’s the way it is
This is a common occurrence

When I have myself a drink
When I consume alcohol

Its only cus the sun shines once again
My mood has improved because of the presence of the sun

Let the sun shine
Enjoy the warmth and positivity brought about by the sun

Let the sun shine baby
Experience the positive effects of the sun

Let it all go
Release your worries and negative thoughts

Let it all go baby
Experience liberation from negative emotions

So turn the lights off
Switch off the artificial light sources

Aint no one afraid
Nobody is scared

When the night comes
When darkness falls

It’ll be just like the day
There is no cause for concern

And without the day
In the absence of sunlight

I am glowing from within
I feel positive and radiant

Only cus the sun shined once again
My mood has improved because of the presence of the sun

So play that sweet tune
Listen to pleasant music

Play it through the air
Play the music loudly

And the volume
Raise the volume

Blaze it up
Enjoy the music passionately

Don't you ask me twice
I am willing to comply without further prompting

You know I'm gonna bid
I am willing to participate

Only cause the sun shined once again
My mood has improved because of the presence of the sun

I know that the world is gonna smile again
I am optimistic about the future

When we go from the darkness into the light
When we experience positive changes after a period of negativity

Let the sun shine yeah eh ey yeah
Experience the warmth and positivity brought about by the sun
