I've walked around this planet now for ninety-seven years
I've filled my heart with laughter and I've shed a thousand tears
I've lost everything I've ever owned
I've learned some things I wish I'd never known
I was born in Dallas Texas in nineteen and twenty two
I've rambled and I've gambled and I've seen a thing or two
One wager that I'm sure I'll always win
I'll bet you that the sun will shine again
The sun will shine again
You'll find another friend
The losers will win
The sun will shine again
One day a cloud of dust appeared and blotted out the sun
People panicked fearing that their time on earth was done
The preachers bowed their heads and knocked on wood
The businessmen grabbed everything they could
We lived in total darkness for a year and twenty days
Lots of folk had given up and wandered far astray
The faithful were rewarded in the end
The cloud lifted and the sun appeared again
The sun will shine again
You'll find another friend
The losers will win
The sun will shine again
Every drop within the ocean, all creatures great and small
Sing songs to tell their stories and draw pictures on the wall
With no beginning and without an end
Just waiting for the sun to shine again
The sun will shine again
You'll find another friend
The losers will win
The sun will shine again
