Sunshine
Neelix Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It was hot day,
the air was smoggy and it was tough.
And we were at a park in Purple mirror.
And we were waiting
and waiting and waiting and waiting
for a dirt road to come.
And it didn't come.
So more gonna do right now
turn to the special moment, that I won't forget
That I focused on
"What would we do right now?"




But you know what?
We can't order what we focus on...
