Verse 1:
So many nights I've cried,
for better days I prayed for;
but through it all I know
the sun is gonna shine if I hold out,
the sun is gonna shine if I hold out.

Verse 2:
Sometimes I feel alone,
no one around to call to on;
I must endure for I know
the sun is gonna shine if I hold out,
the sun is gonna shine if I hold out.

Bridge:
Weeping may endure for a night,
trouble don't last always;
joy comes in the morning,
just wait 'til the morning.

Verse 3:
I won't let go of my faith
the sun is gonna shine if I hold out,
the sun is gonna shine if I hold out.

Vamp:
The sun is gonna shine.
