It's So Bright
(Joe Stevens)
Originally recorded on Boxes & Bags

I took to the road the other day
My city walls they crumble and fade away
Paid my respects by the waterside
That’s where my god and my people reside

The sun it shines now all across the land
From the California waters to the shores of Maryland
The sun it shines now all across this world
But right now, it is shining on a girl

CHORUS:
And it’s so bright, I could go blind
Said, it’s so bright, I could go blind

I’ve been around from the heavens to the ground
I have stolen through the night without a sound
I get so high just to come on down again
But this is now and that was then

[CHORUS]

Take to this land, I got gardenias in my hand, said
To court the finest girl who ever set foot on the sand
I find giving hands, kind faces, and more, say
What was I running for?

[CHORUS]
