Story behind the song
I wrote and recorded this song around 1992 when Bill Clinton was first running for President and the country was in a malaise to express my hope that we could move forward. It was a time when the economy was stagnant and the ethnic cleansing of Muslims was beginning in Bosnia.
Lyrics
SWEET COUNTRY SUNSHINE
Wide awake in the dead of night,
World of trouble on my mind,
Thinking about things I've said, the life I've led,
And the pain I've left behind.
But here comes the morning light,
And God knows what's done is done.
It's time to join the fight, time to get it right,
Because tomorrow has already begun.
chorus
Sweet Country Sunshine
Risin' in the early morn
Waking the birds to sing,
Starting up a day newborn
Sweet Country Sunshine,
The promise of another day
Thank God for my Family
And I'm gonna be a hero for them today
And when I see love shine thru to me
From the face of a child adorned
Sweet Country will shine for me
Gotta say love is sweeter now
Than it's ever been before
Even though I tow the line, while those dreams of mine
Keep drifting farther from the shore
I only hope we can find our way
Back on the road to a better tomorrow
And with the morning light ,find a new insight
To lead us away from sorrow
repeat chorus
