The Sun

Oh this man he wakes up in the morning
Don't know where
His eyes do squint
The sun does glare
Stands up yawns
Does stretch his limbs
Turns his face to the sun
And begins to sing
Seen many places
Done many things
I've been drinking from the earth
I've see the world from within
Had my share of women
And I've had my share of fights
I've been searching for the moon
I've seen some long long nights
Shook too many hands
And I made too many bets
My friends are all gypsies
And I laughed before I wept
I learnt how to live when I saw that sunrise
And now I sing this song about looking on my life
Some say you should try to be rich man
Some they say you should be number one
But my wealth will be inside
And will grow under the sun
After hearing this song
I feel some warmth on my face
I look into the sky
And start to feel a sense of place
This mans song means something to me
My eyes they do open
And I sing this melody
Might write some mystery
Might read some text
Might create a family
This world I might affect
Might be a wise man
Might be a fool
Be conquering like a tiger
Or suffer like a mule
Might learn too late
But might drift in sleep
Might learn how to hide my thoughts
And promises to keep
All these things my life might see
And now I be singing about how my life might be and
Some say you should try to be rich man
Some they say you should be number one
But my wealth will be inside
And will grow under the sun
After hearing this song I feel some warmth on my face
I look into the sky and start to feel a sense of place
This mans song means something to me
My eyes do open and I sing this melody
Might write some mystery
Might read some text
Might create a family
This world I might affect
Might be a wise man
Might be a fool
Be conquering like a tiger
Or suffer like a mule
Might learn too late
But might drift in sleep
Might learn how to hide my thoughts
And promises to keep
All these things my life might see
And now I be singing about how my life might be and
Some say you should try to be rich man
Some they say you should be number one
But my wealth will be inside
And will grow under the sun
