“Jeune” was written in dedication to a little girl who passed away tragically at the age of 6. Writing this song was therapeutic and the hope and goal was to bring happiness to all who get the privilege to listen to it and finding joy in the little things in life.

Where is the sun today?
Gonna make it shine
Gonna make it shine, the freckles on my nose gonna show today
And where? Where? Where?
Where'd your sensibility go?
Did you lose it under all the pretense
Did you forget what you were going to say?
Maybe it's flying in the trees up with the kites or
If you fall on your knees, maybe it's there on the ground
The possibilities are endless, I know
But it's time to show some gratitude
It's time to change your point of view
Where is the sun today?
Gonna make it shine
Gonna make it shine, and grow your heart three sizes today
Where is the sun today?
Gonna make it shine
Gonna make it shine, the freckles on my nose gonna show today
It's a hot, hot, summer day now
What you worried about?
See the yellow flowers grow now
What you worried about?
We'll fight disease, hunger and greed,
We'll shout out loud, 'cause we are proud
We won't forget the one who's gone
Her memory lives on and on
Where is the sun today?
Gonna make it shine
Gonna make it shine, the freckles on my nose gonna show today
