A great sunny day, jump in the pick-up
And we'll go to the park, don't delay.
I know just the place, under the willow tree
The kids they all run and they play for so long,
They get you singing their song,
It's a bright and joyful melody,
Just kick off your blues, join in, be carefree.

Don't you know that everything is gonna be alright,
And haven't you heard the Father never lets you
Out of His sight, no no no no.

A great sunny day, love to be living
And I know there's just no better way to be in the race,
Than giving up everything I know
That hindered my pace for so long,
You got me singing your song,
There's a bright and joyful melody,
Just put on my shoes, join in, be carefree.

Don't you know that everything is gonna be alright,
And haven't you heard the Father never lets you
Out of His sight, no no no no.

But He gives you room to grow,
And He wants to let you know
That He really cares about you and me.
So be free, go and run your race, don't be late,
Go and fight the good fight of faith,
And just like a child be carefree.
