Wherefore and Why

When I woke this mornin', something inside of me
Told me this would be my day
I heard the mornin' train, I felt the wind change
Too many times I'm on my wayCome on sunshine, what can you show me
Where can you take me to make me understand
The wind can shake me, brothers, forsake me
The rain can touch me but can I touch the rainThen I saw the sunrise above the cotton sky
Like a candy cane delight
I saw the milkman, I saw the business man
I saw the only road in sightThen I got to thinkin' what makes you want to go
To know the wherefore and the why
So many times now, oh Lord, I can't remember
If it's September or JulyCome on sunshine, what can you show me
Where can you take me to make me understand
The wind can shake me, brothers, forsake me
The rain can touch me but can I touch the rainThen all at once it came to me, I saw the wherefore
And you can see it if you try
It's in the sun above, it's in the one you love
You'll never know the reason whyCome on sunshine, what can you show me
Where can you take me to make me understand
The wind can shake me, brothers, forsake me
The rain can touch me but can I touch the rain
So much to lose, so much to gain
