I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine.
I got a love and I know that it's all mine. Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Do what you want, but you're never gonna break me.
Sticks and stones are never gonna shake me. Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Take me away, a secret place.
sweet escape, take me away.

Take me away, to better days.
Take me away, a hiding place.

Take me away, to better days.
Take me away, a hiding place.

There's a place that I go that 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.

Take me away, a secret place.
sweet escape, take me away.

Take me away, to better days.
Take me away, a hiding place.

The sun is on my side.
Take me for a ride.
I smile up to the sky.
I know I'll be all right.
