Verse 1
Woke up, new day, feelin' just fine
Pop a little sunshine, in this soul of mine
Mirror shows the same face, but with a brighter smile
Everything's the same, but let's stay awhile
Pre-Chorus
Feels like I'm flying, high above the clouds
The colors seem so brighter, can't bring me down
Got a new pair of glasses, the world's in HD
Antidepressant magic, oh it's helping me
Chorus
Sunshine in my mind, oh what a view
The world might not have changed, but I sure do
Gonna dance through this life, with a brand-new groove
Sunshine in my mind, feeling so true
Verse 2
Problems still around me, but they seem so small
Like whispers in the breeze, hardly there at all
Friends say I'm glowing, from the inside out
No longer in the shadows, free from any doubt
Pre-Chorus
Feels like I'm flying, high above the clouds
The colors seem so brighter, can't bring me down
Got a new pair of glasses, the world's in HD
Antidepressant magic, oh it's helping me
Chorus
Sunshine in my mind, oh what a view
The world might not have changed, but I sure do
Gonna dance through this life, with a brand-new groove
Sunshine in my mind, feeling so true
Bridge
Won't take it for granted, this lift I've got
The struggles ain't vanished, but now I see the plot
Every day's a blessing, gonna ride this wave
With sunshine in my mind, life feels like it’s saved
Chorus
Sunshine in my mind, oh what a view
The world might not have changed, but I sure do
Gonna dance through this life, with a brand-new groove
Sunshine in my mind, feeling so true
Outro
Yeah, sunshine in my mind, oh yeah, it's true
Life's got a new feeling, I'm brand new
Keep this spark shining, in everything I do
Sunshine in my mind, it's my breakthrough
