Wherefore and Why

When I woke this mornin', something inside of me told me this would be my day
 I heard the morning train, I felt the wind change, too many times I'm on my way
 Come on sunshine, what can you show me
 Where can you take me to make me understand
 The wind can shake me, brothers forsake me
 The rain can touch me, but can I touch the rain
 And then I saw the sunrise above the cotton sky like a candycane delight
 I saw the milkman, I saw the business man, I saw the only road in sight
 Then I got to thinkin' what makes you want to go, to know the wherefore and the why
 So many times now, oh lord I can't remember if it's september or july
 Then all at once it came to me, I saw the wherefore, and you can see it if you try
 It's in the sun above, it's in the one you love, you'll never know the reason why
 Come on sunshine, what can you show me
 Where can you take me to make me understand
 The wind can shake me, brothers forsake me
 The rain can touch me, but can I touch the rain
 So much to lose, so much to gain
