I Am the Sun Songtext
von The Flower Kings

Been around for a while
Grown my beard, I′m still a child
Dead ends shortcuts just the same,
I'm the master of my game
Predictable, now you may say,
The Danny Kaye of present day
Close my hand and wave my wand,
Brainchild of your wonderland

Now,
(Now) I′m at the peak
Never forget what I tell you
Never give in to the big sleep, fast becoming
Now,
I'm at the edge
Never reject what I offer
Never believe what they tell you, let's move a mountain


Now watch me fight, now watch me bleed,
A universal spiral seed
The progress lingers, thoughts of man--
Take it as far as humans can
(Now) think of me your solid dream,
Catch me floating down the river
I′m an island drifting by,
Time again your sole forgiver

Now,
I am the sun
I am the first day of summer
Never give in to the dark deep, fast becoming
Now, (now!)
I am the moon
I am the end of the tunnel
Never believe in the dark age, let′s move a mountain

Call me ageless, call me ghost,
The diamond duke behind the shades,
Sunflower beneath the skyline
Swaying in the land of snakes
Hey, I used to be a king
Now I'm just a king of laughter
Put me faith in anything,
Anything that′s close to wonder
Anything that's close to wonder...


I′m in the middle, now see what I done,
Staring into the sun
You think you're drowning, but slowly you slip
Through the grinders of time
Afternoon the upstream, begging for time
Hum the words "I feed you my colorful shrine"

I′m in the middle, hold on to what's mine
In the limbo of time
You think you're dreaming, but gradually you learn
What it′s like being torn
I′m on the other side painting skies to the poor
Hum the words "I'll join you; we′ll break down the scores"

Break down, down
(Break down, down)

Break down, down
(Break down, down)

Break down, down
(Break down, down)

Break down, down

(I left my heart in San Francisco... I left my mind at Brisco Bay)

She came from the islands, seen places afar
They said she was gifted, reading the stars
And though I'm certain she was telling the truth
She′d faint when the mob start rocking the boat

In time, your eyes will open,
And the curtains will drop
To see we are one, this one that we are
In time, your eyes will open,
And time will tell
Larger than life, revolve among stars

She came from a time, time running slow
Transcending the limits, step up to the flow
She brought to the table all the wonders of life
The year of the dragon, she opened her eyes

In time, your heart will open,
And you'll let her in
To see we are one, this one that we are
In time, our hearts will open,
And time will tell
Larger than life, revolve among stars

Getting up in the early morning
Getting all my things together
I′m leaving today
Gonna make my breakfast tea
Gonna feed the birds and fishes
I'm sailing away
I may be a stray dog, mama, I never heard living soul
I may be a bit confused but my mind is as clear as ever
And I'm as free as a... FISH!!

I will get out in the open, I′ll find a place in the summer
On mountains undone
I′m up for the wheels of wonder, I'm in for the cosmic drive
It′s great being alive
I may be a baby elephant, step back or I'll step on your toes...
I′ll be the atomic juggler, I'll pull up a missile up your nose...

Won′t take a bite of your cake
Won't play with your baby snakes
I'll find my way out, thanks
Won′t swim in your money pool
Won′t be the domestic fool
I'm cool with NO rule
I may be the fuzzy dice but I won′t burn my fingers twice...
I may be the 7th wonder, wake up!! Don't put me on ice...
