Ooooh,
the times are changin' - Nothing ever stays the same, yeah, yeah
Ooooh,
the times are changin' - The bear and the eagle are to blame
You
can’t tame a bear and you can’t chain an eagle down
You
can’t make a river flow upstream
And
the dead don’t make no sound, no sound, no sound
By
tomorrow, yeah tomorrow I’ll be on the road again my friend
John’s
down by the river and he never sets foot in the city
At
least not by the light of day
John’s
down by the river and he never sets foot in the city
All
he wants to do is get high and play
It
feels safer that waaay aaaay aaaay aaay
Singin'
Yahweh sunshine, sunshine fill my heart
Yahweh
sunshine, sunshine – help me do my part
Yahweh
sunshine, sunshine – light my day
Yahweh
sunshine, sunshine – light my way
I
can feel the beat beneath the city street – poundin' in my head
Makin'
me wish I’d never done the things I did
Ah,
by tomorrow, yeah tomorrow
I’m
gonna be on the road again, my friend
I
can hear the wild birds calling my name
I
can hear the wild birds calling me home
Doo
do doot do doot doot do doot
Doo
do doot do doot doot do doot
Doo
do doot do - do doot doot do
John’s
down by the river but he never sets foot in the city
At
least not by the light of day
John’s
down by the river and he never sets foot in the city
All
he wants to do is get high and play
It
feels safer that waaay aaaay aaaay aaay
Singin'
Yahweh sunshine, sunshine fill my heart
Yahweh
sunshine, sunshine help me do my part
Yahweh
sunshine, sunshine – light my day
Yahweh
sunshine, sunshine – light my way
Kiva,

Kiva,
kiva circle star – You’re in a circle wherever you are
Kiva,
kiva circle star – You’re in a circle wherever you are
Kiva,

Yahweh
sunshine, sunshine, sunshine, sunshine
(Kiva,
kiva circle star – You’re in a circle wherever you are)
Yahweh
sunshine, sunshine, sunshine, sunshine
(Kiva,
kiva circle star – You’re in a circle wherever you are)
Yahweh
sunshine, sunshine, sunshine, sunshine
(Kiva,
kiva circle star – You’re in a circle wherever you are)
Yahweh
sunshine, sunshine, sunshine, sunshine, sunshine, sunshine, sunshine, sunshine,
sunshine, sunshine
