123. Scatter the Sunshine

1 Scatter the sunshine wherever you go,
Hearts grow aweary so often you know;
Burdens grow heavy and tears dim the way,
Often obscuring the light of the day.

Refrain:
Scatter the sunshine and scatter the flowers;
Hearts grow so sad in this earth land of ours;
Kind words and smiles help when all else may fail,
Scatter the sunshine when trials prevail.

2 Scatter the sunshine, the weak and the worn
Need your assistance, there’s much to be borne;
Cheerfully courage and comfort impart,
Lend a kind hand, aid the faltering heart. [Refrain]

3 Scatter the sunshine, soon day will be done,
Soon, oh, so soon, will your life’s race be run;
Every kind action will bless you at last,
Scatter the sunshine till time shall be past. [Refrain]
