We are ancients As ancient as the sun We came from the ocean Once our ancestral home So that one day We could all return To our birthright The great celestial dome We are the children of the sun Our journey's just begun Sunflowers in our hair We are the children of the sun There is room for everyone Sunflowers in our hair Throughout the ages Of iron, bronze, and stone We marvelled at the night sky And what may lie beyond We burned offerings To the elemental ones Made sacrifices For beauty, peace and love We are the children of the sun Our kingdom will come Sunflowers in our hair We are the children of the sun Our carnival's begun Our songs will fill the air And you know it's time To look for reasons why Just reach up and touch the sky To the heavens we'll ascend We are the children of the sun Our journey has begun All the older children Come out at night Anaemic, soulless Great hunger in their eyes Unaware of the beauty That sleeps tonight And all the queen's horses And all the king's men Will never put these children back Together again Faith, hope, our charities Greed, sloth, our enemies We are the children of the sun We are the children of the sun |
