The Setting 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.
Yeah, Yeah (Yeah!)
Yeah, Yeah (Yeah!)
I’ve got a wound that doesn’t heal
Burning out again
Burning out again
I’ve not sure which of me is real
I’m alone again
Burning out again
My hope runs underneath it all
The day that I’ll be home
It won’t be long, I belong
Somewhere past this setting Sun
Finally free, finally strong
Somewhere back where I belong
Yeah, Yeah, (Yeah!)
Yeah, Yeah, (Yeah!)
They’re selling shares of me again
But I’m not buying it
I’m not buying it
My wound goes deeper than the skin
There’s no hiding it
So I’m not trying it
My hope runs underneath it all
The day that I’ll be home
It won’t be long, I belong
Somewhere past this setting Sun
Finally free, finally strong
Somewhere back where I belong
Yeah, Yeah, (Somewhere past the setting Sun!)
Yeah, Yeah, (Yeah!)
Yeah, Yeah, (Going back where we belong!)
Yeah, Yeah, (I'll find you)
(The setting Sun!)
Let the weak say I am strong, and it won’t be long
Let the right say I was wrong, and it won’t be long
Let us find where we belong
Beyond this setting Sun
Beyond this setting Sun
Yeah, Yeah
It won’t be long, I belong
Somewhere past this setting Sun
Finally free, finally strong
Somewhere back where I belong
Yeah, Yeah (Yeah, Yeah!)
Yeah, Yeah (Yeah, Yeah!)
