Commodores

Tripping on the life that I'm living
Life's too short to bother me, world
Give me room to see where I'm going
All I want is to be stone free
Free like the wind that blows, yeah

Shine on you world of peace and freedom
Shine on you people hard as stone, yeah
I hope you see the storm that's in the valley
I hope you see your right from wrong
Open your minds and see

Whoa-oh, work so hard for money (for the money)
But money only buys me pain (so much pain, so much pain)
Yow, I'm free and easy

'Cause I'm high on sunshine
Lightin' my way (ooh)
High on sunshine
Take all my blues away

Oh yeah
(Say sunny, say sunny, say sunny)
Ow, well-well-well-well

Sailing in my mind are fancy colors
I see the world through rainbow shades, yeah
But people make my colors such a hassle
Sometimes I wish they'd all fade away
Changes we all go through

Whoa-oh, well, I don't need no doctor (no doctor)
To give me my peace of mind, yeah (peace of mind, peace of mind)
I'm free forever

'Cause I'm high on sunshine
Lightin' my way (ooh)
High on sunshine
Take all my blues away

Oh yeah
(Say sunny, say sunny, say sunny)
Ow, well-well-well-well

(Say sunny, say sunny, say sunny)
Ow, say, say-say (sunny)
(Yeah)
Whoo-ooh

Oh, I'm high on sunshine
Lightin' my way, yeah
High on sunshine
Take all my blues away

Well, I'm high on sunshine
Lightin' my way, yeah
High on sunshine, yeah
Lightin' my way, woo
High on sunshine (summer sunshine, baby)
Lightin' my way

Commodores are an American funk/soul band, which was at its peak in the late 1970s through the mid 1980s. The members of the group met as mostly freshmen at Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University) in 1968, and signed with Motown in November 1972, having first caught the public eye opening for The Jackson 5 while on tour.
