Sun is shining, the weather is sweet
Make you wanna move your dancing feet now
To the rescue, here I am
Want you to know ya, can you understand

When the morning gather the rainbow, yeah, yeah
Want you to know I'm a rainbow too
To the rescue, here I am
Want you to know ya
Can you, can you, can you understand

The sun is shining, the weather is sweet now
Make you wanna move your dancing feet, yeah
Oh, to the rescue, here I am
Want you to know just if you can
Here I stand, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Can you understand me now, baby

[Pre-Chorus]
Sun is shining, the weather is sweet
Make you want to move your dancing feet
To the rescue, here I am
Want you to know, you all, where I stand

[Chorus]

A new day is dawning

When the morning gathers the rainbow
Want you to know I'm a rainbow too
So to the rescue, here I am

Masterpiece.... Anytime, Anyday. He saw the Past, Present, future and Beyond...From Jah given eyes. Rest on Uncle Bob.

15, still at school, late 1977, I got the Kaya album months before it was released in March 78. One of our the supply teachers had a good friend that worked at EMI; she knew I loved reggae music and put it on cassette for me. Every single track takes me back, especially Sun is Shining and Crisis! A Master Class band, never to be repeated. Peace & love!
