more sunshine please crack open the shutters
thrust the heavy windows wide open let light pour in
where dying plants search for honey bees please

feed the soil sunshine nurture let love grow
shove the light where darkness lives
let it peek behind the sad green leaves please

have its rays and bright lights awaken
your dull purple eyes absorb it take it in with
ease like a vial of pure positive energy please

peril peril drown away the worries of the night
shine over puddles glow through fat raindrops
fill the murky blue seas with gold please

orange crimson flames please pierce the fog
whiz and spark and radiate and burst crack pop
through the air let the world see your beams please

make dull soda fizz make tough chocolate melt
transform dull morning into a peach sky
cold winter frost transform make it unfreeze please

turn pale skin golden kiss hair with light
grab the lackluster reshape it into clusters
of reflecting stars seize the moment please

we need more vitamin D please
