There was a piece of music in Hair entitled "Let The Sunshine In". Perhaps that is what you are thinking of? This song, as Meatles points out is nothing to do with Hair.
A note from Ralph Terrana, one of the co-writers reproduced with permission:
"The song was originally written...Sunshine...where are you going...
Then one afternoon at my house with co-writer the late Mike Valvano, we observed my young 4 year old daughter playing in her sand box in the back yard. Mike came up with the concept. I was a little reluctant at first. After all...this was MY daughter. But we ended up writing those lyrics that day. I to this day wish I would have stuck with my original concept for the song. I think it would have worked better.
An interesting side note. Stoney was pregnant while we were doing her
vocals on Sunshine and it became a very emotional thing for her trying to do these vocals. Due to the rather morbid nature of a child dying, she would generally break down and cry during the sessions. Like I mentioned I had my own problems with the song because the lyrics stemmed from observing my daughter at play."
