We are ancients
|
As ancient as the sun
|
We came from the ocean
|
Once our ancestral home
|
So that one day
|
We could all return
|
To our birthright
|
The great celestial dome
|
|
We are the children of the sun
|
Our journey's just begun
|
Sunflowers in our hair
|
We are the children of the sun
|
There is room for everyone
|
Sunflowers in our hair
|
|
Throughout the ages
|
Of iron, bronze, and stone
|
We marvelled at the night sky
|
And what may lie beyond
|
We burned offerings
|
To the elemental ones
|
Made sacrifices
|
For beauty, peace and love
|
|
We are the children of the sun
|
Our kingdom will come
|
Sunflowers in our hair
|
We are the children of the sun
|
Our carnival's begun
|
Our songs will fill the air
|
|
And you know it's time
|
To look for reasons why
|
Just reach up and touch the sky
|
To the heavens we'll ascend
|
We are the children of the sun
|
Our journey has begun
|
|
All the older children
|
Come out at night
|
Anaemic, soulless
|
Great hunger in their eyes
|
Unaware of the beauty
|
That sleeps tonight
|
|
And all the queen's horses
|
And all the king's men
|
Will never put these children back
|
Together again
|
|
Faith, hope, our charities
|
Greed, sloth, our enemies
|
|
We are the children of the sun
|
We are the children of the sun
|
