Can’t See The Sunshine

Here in Scotland it’s renowned for the rain
An unfair reputation for I’ve seen lovely days
“We never see sunshine like they do in Spain”
That’s what they say
But they can’t see the sunshine for the rain

Chorus
Can’t see the sunshine
Can’t see the sunshine
Can’t see the sunshine for the rain

Amongst the news stories, the death and the pain
There’s always a story that will bring joy again
“It’s dreich and it’s drab, it’s driving me insane”
That’s what they say
But they can’t see the sunshine for the rain

A little bit of optimism is all that you need
When things are getting tough be determined to succeed
For life aint so bad
There’s always some good
So step out the door
And live like you should

When the glass is half empty and times seem grim
Just remember the times when it was full to the brim
Take a break from the city
The stress and the strain
chase off those storm clouds
And look for that sunshine through the rain
