(C) Surrounded by (F) factories and (C) prisons,
(G) Surrounded by drunken barrooms (C);
By homes (F) full of (C) divisions
And (G) graveyards full of (C) tombs.

But (G) somewhere between the (C) anguish and pain
We (G) learned to find our (C) fun;
(G) Somewhere between the (C) clouds and the rain
We always (G) remembered the (C) sun.

Surrounded by barracks and schools,
Surrounded by slums of the poor;
By the courthouse applying the rules
And hospitals searching for cures.

But somewhere between the anguish and pain
We learned to find our fun;
Somewhere between the clouds and the rain
We always remembered the sun.

Surrounded by homes for the crippled,
Surrounded by homes for the blind,
By homes for the deaf and dumb people
And people going out of their minds.

But somewhere between all the anguish and pain
We learned to find our fun,
Somewhere between the clouds and rain
We always remembered the sun.
O always remember the sun.
