Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Soundshine
Soundshine Of Your Life
Sun Is Rising
Sun is rising and shining in the sky

Jim is goin' on his way

Running along the riverside

He can hear the birds today

Their singing makes him feel alright

Life goes on, life goes on

Jim is so glad he has someone to love

Kim's not able to live without her boy

Life goes on, life goes on
