Like a long lonely stream,
I keep on runnin' t'wards a dream;
Movin' on, movin' on.
Like a branch on a tree,
I keep reachin' to be free;
Movin on, movin' on.
‘Cause there's a place in the sun
Where there's hope, hope for every one;
Where my poor restless heart it's gotta run.
There's a place in the sun
And before my life is done;
I've gotta find me a place in the sun.
Like an old dusty road
I get weary from the load;
Movin' on, movin' on.
Like this tired, tired troubled earth
I've been rollin' since my birth;
Movin' on, movin' on.
(Spoken) Yea now sing it again!
‘Cause there's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for every one;
Where my poor restless heart, it's gotta run.
(Tell them)
There's a place in the sun
And before my life is done;
I gotta find me a place in the sun.
(Ya know, when times are bad, and you're feelin' sad, 
I want cha to always remember that)
There's a place, it's up in the sun, yeah
And ya know there's hope, hope for every one;
Where my poor restless heart, it's gotta run.
You know, there's a place in the sun
And before my life is done;
I gotta find me a place in the sun.
O-oh, whoh, whoh, why
O-oh, O-oh, O-oh, O-oh, O-oh, O-oh, yeah
Oh-ho, Uh-huh, Uh-huh-huh, yeah
Yes, there's a place, it's up in the sun
And before my life is doneÂ…
Oh you know, you know that-a I, I
I just have to find me a place
In the sun
