Walk Straight To The Sun

Today I let the darkness bring me down 
I promise it's not a sign of things to come 
You count on me to be your light 
Emotions came into our fight 
And I, let it get the best of me 

We said things that we wished we never said 
But just remember... 

I am the Sunshine In The Rain 
I bring the light that kills the pain 
When the rain is falling, I will be the sunlight in your eyes 
Sunshine In The Rain 

I gotta find out how to make this right again 
If only I could read your mind 
There is so much life to live and places to explore 
And I, need you by my side 

We said things that we wished we never said 
But just remember... 

I am the Sunshine In The Rain 
I bring the light that kills the pain 
When the rain is falling, I will be the sunlight in your eyes 
Sunshine In The Rain 

I can see clearly now 
Now I can show you how 
Let's start a brand new day 
Sunshine In The Rain 
We gon' have days in the snow 
That's just the way love goes 
The clouds disappear 
And now you're here 

I am the Sunshine In The Rain 
I bring the light that kills the pain 
When the rain is falling, I will be the sunlight in your eyes 
Sunshine In The Rain

Can I Have This Dance?

Once upon a time, I stumbled across this incredible Stevie Wonder song from 1968 that never made it on to any of his albums.  It's such a good song and I hope this rendition is an honorable tribute.  

Also, I filmed a music video for this one.  It's one of my favorites.  My good friend Micah O'Hair directed and filmed it.  We organically messed with the speed so it has a weird but cool vibe to it.

It Was Good Until Is Wasn't Out Now! Kehlani.lnk.to/IWGUIWSO

Where are you going to 
What are you trying to prove 
It's time to find yourself 
Still enjoy yourself 

Who are you trying to find 
Look inside your mind 
Don't waste your life 
You got to live your life 

I just want the best for you 
with love 

You have another day to run 
Run, run, run 
Another day to fly 
Another day to live 
Don't waste your time 
Keep keep keepin' on 
You have another day to run 

You had a million dreams 
Things haven't gone as planned 
It's not too late for you 
Tommorow's made for you 

It's like it just won't quit 
You tap out and submit 
There's another day to run 
Move your legs and start to run 

Seek and you will find 
The peace inside your mind 
And shine a summer day 
You will find your way 

Life can move pretty fast 
We look back and we laugh 
At all thats past 
You can't forget the past 

I just want the best for you 
with love 

You have another day to run 
Run, run, run 
Another day to fly 
Another day to live 
Don't waste your time 
Keep keep keepin' on 
You have another day to run

Another Day To Run

Let Your Hair Down 
And take it slow 
Let Your Hair Down 
And take it slow 
We've got nowhere to go 

They say all work and no play's bad for the soul, oh girl 
So won't you come on over here and let me get a hold of you darlin' 
Did you forget that you were young 
Forget how to have fun 
Let me show you 
I'm gonna blow your mind away 

I see you stressing
Is your life a bore? 
No it's a blessing 
Is that the reason our love you've been second guessing? 
Girl, just relax 

Let Your Hair Down 
And take it slow 
Let Your Hair Down 
And take it slow 
We've got nowhere to go 

Let me show all the things you'll get from you 
Peace of mind so drown in us 
This is nothing less than destiny, it's true darlin' 
Did you forget that you were young 
Forget how to have fun 
Let me show you 
I'm gonna blow your mind away 

I see you stressing
Is your life a bore? 
No it's a blessing 
Is that the reason our love you've been second guessing? 
Girl, just relax 

Let Your Hair Down 
And take it slow 
Let Your Hair Down 
And take it slow 
We've got nowhere to go

Let Your Hair Down
