[Verse 1]
If you run away and hide
It'd be harder to decide
For you only have to try
Somehow you'll find your way

[Verse 2]
Don't give in
Start out again
If you look into your hearts
You'll find the sunlight (Sunlight)

[Chorus]
The Sunlight! the Sunlight!
The Sunlight! (Sunlight) The Sunlight!

[Verse 3]
If you never care to see
Who the someone is gon' be
Then you'll never get to be
The smile that warms the sun

(Ad lib)
You can have it if you want it
Wow Baby
You can have it if you want it
You can have it if you want it
You can have it if you want it

Walk into the sunlight!
Walk into the sunlight!
Walk into the sunlight!
Walk into the sunlight!

[Verse 1]
If you run away and hide
It'd be harder to decide
For you only have to try
Somehow you'll find your way

[Verse 2]
Don't give in
Start out again
If you look into your life
You'll find the sunlight

You will find
You can win
If you try
Don't give in
You will find
You can win
If you try
Don't give in
(The Sunlight!)

Listen Don't give in
Start out, Start out again

Walk into the Sunlight

Herbert Jeffrey “Herbie” Hancock (born April 12, 1940) is an American pianist, keyboardist, bandleader, composer and actor from Chicago, Illinois.

In 1960 he began working with Donald Byrd and Coleman Hawkins. He recorded his first solo album “Takin' Off” for Blue Note Records in 1962. “Watermelon Man”. Thanks to the album he caught the attention of Miles Davis, who asks, in May 1963, Hancock to join his Second Great Quintet.

In the sixties he records two important albums in jazz “Empyrean Isles” (1964) and “Maiden Voyage” (1965), both for Blue Note. During this period, Hancock also composed the score to Michelangelo Antonioni’s film Blowup (1966), the first of many film soundtracks he recorded in his career.
