The Flower Kings - I Am The Sun
текст песни

Been around for a while, grown my beard, I'm still a child
Deadends, 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, wave my wand, the brainchild of your wonderland

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 on the universal spiral scene
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 and 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, I am the moon, I am the end of the tunnel
Never believe in the dark ages, let's move a mountain

Call me ageless, call me ghost, the diamond duke behind the shades
The 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 my faith in anything, anything that's close to wonder

I'm in the middle, now see what I've done, staring into the sun
You think you're drowning, but slowly you slip thru the grinders of time
Afternoon in the upstreams, begging for time
Humming 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
Humming the words "I'll join you, we'll break down the scores."

She came from the islands, seen places afar
They said she was gifted, reading the stars
And though I'm certain she was tellin' the truth
She'd faint when the mob start rockin' 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 where time's 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 our eyes.

In time your heart will open, you'll let her in
To see we are one, this one that we are
In time our hearts will open, 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, oh no
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

I'm in the middle, now see what I've done, staring into the sun
You think you're drowning, but slowly you slip thru the grinders of time
Afternoon in the upstreams, begging for time
Humming 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 dre
