Sometimes Mr. Sunshine is sleeping
When the darkness is the hardest thing to see
I wish I had the heart of five lions
So I could pick you up when you're weak
God knows you've been through so much heartache
Grains of worry settle so deep
But there's a tiny angel waiting
So mother, hold on to your dream
Hold on to your dream
It's heard to explain how it hurts you
You can't expect them to understand
To lose a friend that never knew you
One less footprint in the sand
No words can lift up your sorrow
But know that I feel it too
I'll never give up on trying
I'll never give up on you
Hold on to your dream
Dreams never hurt you
Dream 'cause you need to
Dream never hurt you
Dream 'cause you need to
Sometimes Mr. Sunshine is sleeping
When the darkness is the hardest thing to see
I wish I had the heart of five lions
So I could pick you up when you're weak
God knows you've been through so much heartache
Grains of worry settle so deep
But there's a tiny angel waiting
So mother, hold on to your dream
