�Pocketful of Sunshine�
by Natasha Bedingfield
I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine
I got a love, and I know that it�s all mine
Do what you want but you�re never gonna break me
Sticks and stones are never gonna shake me
I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine
I got a love, and I know that it�s all mine
Wish that you could but you ain�t gonna own me
Do anything, you can�t slow me down
Chorus
Take me away, a secret place
A sweet escape, take me away
Take me away to better days
Take me away to a higher place
There�s a place that I go
But nobody knows
Where the rivers flow
And I
call it home
And there�s no more lies
In the darkness there�s light
And nobody cries
There�s only butterflies
(Chorus)
The sun is on my side
Take me for a ride
I smile up to the sky
I know I�ll be all right
