Lyrics
Touched By The Sun
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If you want to be brave
And reach for the top of the sky
And the farthest point on the horizon
Do you know who you'll meet there
Great soldiers and seafarers
Artists and dreamers
Who need to be close, close to the light
They need to be in danger of burning by fire
And I, I want to get there
I, I want to be one
One who is touched by the Sun
One who is touched by the Sun
Often I want to walk
The safe side of the street
And lull myself to sleep
And dull my pain
But deep down inside I know
I've got to learn from the greats
Earn my right to be living
Let my wings of desire
Soar over the night
I need to let them say
She must have been mad
And I, I want to get there
I, I want to be one
One who is touched by the Sun
One who is touched by the Sun
I've got to learn from the greats
Earn my right to be living
With every breath that I take
Every heartbeat
And I, I want to get there
I, I want to be one
One who is touched by the Sun
One who is touched by the Sun
