May There Always Be Sunshine - Raffi

Bright blue the sky.

Sun up on high—

That was the little boy’s picture

He drew for you

Wrote for you, too

Just to make clear what he drew.

(Chorus):

May there always be sunshine,

May there always be blue skies,

May there always be mummy,

May there always be me!

My little friend,

Listen, my friend,

Peace is the dream of the people

Hearts old and young

Never have done

Singing the song you have sung.

(Chorus)

Soldier lad, stay!

Hear what we say—

War would make all of us losers

Peace is our prize

Millions of eyes

Anxiously gaze at the skies.

(Chorus)

Down with all war!

We want no more.

People stand up for you children

Sing everyone—

Peace must be won,

Dark clouds must not hide the sun.

(Chorus)

Sun in thy sky,

Birds flying by This is the picture

You gave me Far down below

Someone I know

Looked up as though he would say

(Chorus)

There could be sun

For everyone

There could be worlds

Filled with laughter

Peace is a dream

How close it seems

When you hold my hand and say

(Chorus)

May There Always Be Sunshine (chorus in Russian)
