lyrics

Vs1
it was sometime in late September
i was on my way home
cross cuttuin' campus i was lost in my mind
eyes to the ground, unaware of surroundings
when something orange something round came down
from the heavens and touched my feet
it broke my focus but it did not confuse
as i looked up i knew it had to be you
and sure enough there in your window you were
with a smile on your face, your usual countenance

Chorus
You said,"could you use some sunshine brother?"
i said, "yes indeed"
"well if you need some sunshine, brother"
"then come and walk with me and eat the fruit is sweet and we'll talk about being free"

Vs2
they say that orange is the unrhymable word
but i had to try to describe you to the world
cause without oranges you would not be you
so i pushed on ahead and tried to tell the truth

Chorus2
you said, "do ya know the best thing bout oranges"
I said, "no do you?"
"well the best best thing bout oranges is"
they come pre-divided, naturally providing, a good reason to share.
yeah, they come pre-divided, naturally providing, a good reason to share!

Bridge
God bless the patron saint of oranges!
for teaching me that the smallest gifts can change everything
so go and be a sunshine sister
give people something sweet
Go and be a sunshine bother cause
to everyone you meet
