Hello, sunshine, goodbye, rain
Hello, promise, I hope you're here to stay
Ain't nothin' sweeter than welcomin' new mercy everyday
Hello, sunshine, sure glad you came
Sure glad you came
Well, hello, future (Hey), goodbye, yesterday (Yesterday, yesterday)
Your grass is greener (Hey) than anywhere I've lain (I've lain)
You turn these troubled eyes (Hey) to watchin' all my troubles wash away
Hello, future (Hey), we gon' be okay
We gon' be okay
We gon' be okay
(Troubles, troubles, troubles, troubles, troubles, troubles, troubles)
Hello, purpose, you've alluded me
I thought I'd find you in victory (Victory)
I scaled the mountain (Hey) just to find nobody beside me
Hello, purpose (Hey), don't leave me be
Don't leave me be
Don't leave me be
I believe
Don't leave me be
Hello, Jesus, I hope You understand
My last departure was never planned
I came up empty with everyone and everywhere I been
Hello, Jesus, I'm home again
I'm home again
