Sunshine 03:55
Sunshine Good Mornin' Sunshine How you feelin'? I've been longin' for your Light To heal my painin' Now You're Here Right in my face I'm gonna let you do your thang: Embrace Put down your phones Leave your machines Come try a different kinda cure for your disease Jump in the Sunshine Laugh at the Sun Let the Joy flow outta nowhere Have some fun You bring me colors that I've long forgotten Wash down my worries just like holy water Spread my wings and fly in high altitude You give me fuel in form of Gratitude Go call your sista Run tell your brotha : Hey! Happiness is in You not in another Keep on dreamin' Follow your thrill Ain't no better time than right Now to begin You bring me colors I've long forgotten Wash down my worries just like holy water Spread my wings and fly in high altitude You give me fuel in form of Gratitude

Wake 04:20
Wake Don't U wanna wake from the nightmare U've been dreamin? Don't U wanna wake Give your Life a fresh beginning? When U wake up in the morning U open up your eyes Just like me Do U feel the Blessing? U're alive in Paradise Just like me U get up and strech your body and U take a deep breath Just like me U open up your window Let the wind caress your face U work hard to make a living provide for your family Just like me But somewhere on your way U let fear lead U astray Don't U wanna wake from the nightmare U've been dreamin? Don't U wanna wake Give your Life a fresh beginning? When U feel Joy U wanna Celebrate When U feel sad maybe U wanna hug a friend When U feel lost U wanna overstand And When U feel Love U wanna spread it No matter your color, No matter your beliefs U'n'I are closer than U're tryin' to convince your self So come a little closer And Look me in the eye U'll see a reflection Of the Divine Don't U wanna wake from the nightmare U've been dreamin? Don't U wanna wake Give your Life a fresh beginning?

Yeah 04:45
Yeah Yellow in my face I can feel the heat in my bones My feet are warm by the ocean salt And I know just where to start Yeah Right time to die again Let the old go down the drain Risin'up Play with form Get rid of one more uniform Yeah Gratefulness in me For everything, everyone All the good, And the hard Next time I will shake your hand

Diamond 04:08
DIAMOND You are a Diamond Deep down you're a Diamond You are a Diamond Know you are a Diamond You are a Diamond Remember you're a Diamond You are a Diamond Yes you are a Diamond A Diamond is a rock transcending test of Time Taking all the heat Walking up the line Changing shit to Gold Alchemy Divine That's how you walk the Earth and look into the Light Unveiling the Unseen, Clarity to begin Opening eyes to see Reality without a screen It's like everywhere you turn you see the Matrix in green Your Soul lives in Zion but you're surrounded by sin Chorus So go along your way and spread your lovely colors Many along your way will try to stain you must not bother Always keep in mind that on this Earth we are all scholars Your sense of worth is not derived from your dollars Chorus When your sky is grey Remember you're a Diamond When you went astray Remember you're a Diamond When you lost your way Remember you're a Diamond When you feel divided Know you are a Diamond When you are in doubt Remember you're a Diamond When the stress is near Remember you're a Diamond When you're lost in fear Remember you're a Diamond When you're on your knees Know you are a Diamond
