I found a road in the rain country,
Its name was, get this… Sunnyside.
Thought... it’s an odd name for the road
That’s half the time covered with mud.
I wondered what’s there at the end,
So that one day I took the turn,
To see what’s up the Sunnyside Road;
I was just curious without concern.
The mud and puddles everywhere,
Just as I thought they would be.
Why am I here? Came the thought…
This trip goes nowhere, foolish me!
I was all ready to go back,
But then I noticed there was sun…
I found the rainbow at the end
And people having lots of fun.
They danced around and sang the songs
With smile invited me inside.
I grew to like that place, along
This muddy road called Sunnyside.
