I lay in the forest amongst the butterflies
And the fireflies and the burning horses
And the flaming tress
As a spiral of children climbs up to the Sun
Waving goodbye to you and goodbye to me
As the past pulls away and the future begins
I say goodbye to all that as the future rolls in
Like a wave, like a wave
And the past with its savage undertow
Let's go
Come on everyone
Come on everyone
A spiral of children climbs up to the Sun
To the Sun, to the Sun
And on each golden rung
A spiral of children climbs up to the Sun
And a man called Jesus
He promised he would leave us
With a word that would light up the night, oh, the night
But the stars hang from threads and blink off one by one
And it isn't any fun
No, it isn't any fun
To be standing here alone with nowhere to be
With a man mad with grief and on each side a thief
And everybody hanging from a tree, from a tree
And everybody hanging from a tree
Come on everyone
Come on everyone
A spiral of children climbs up to the Sun
To the Sun, to the Sun
Taking everyone
A spiral of children climbs up to the Sun
There is nothing more valuable than beauty, they say
There is nothing more valuable than love
And I lie amongst the leaves and the burning trees
And the fields of smoke and the black butterflies
And the screaming horses and your bright green eyes
So beautiful
And your bright green eyes
So beautiful
I am here beside you
Look for me in the Sun
I am beside you
I am within
In the sunshine
In the Sun
