LYRICS
Has anyone seen some sun
Everything veiled in grayscale
A sliver of light would be alright
Delivery from doldrums blight

Rah Ra Hey! Say ray
Right? Right!
Bring on the light

The clouds are putting up a fight
It’ll be too late with the onset of sunset
As any chance is lost to the night
It’s been so long since daylight… I forget

Chorus

May this day give way
As we let the music play
We’ve begun to let in some sun
Out of the shadows through the windows

Chorus

LYRICS
If the words don’t come right to me
Guess I’ll just have to see
What’ll be

Children of the sun
Coming out to have some fun

When children start dancing merrily
Guess I’m considered
Lucky

Children of the sun
Coming out to have some fun

Last thing I remember, I was writing a song
Then you came along… the smile on your face lit up the place
Now I forget what is going on
Ohhhhhh, la, la, la
Ohhhhhh, yeah
Children of the sun
Coming out to have some fun

ABOUT THIS SONG
This song was written while sitting on the corner of High and Market Streets in West Chester, PA. It was the first nice day of Spring, so I wanted to get out in the sun. I didn’t have lyrics in mind. Instead, I looked around. Here is what I found.

LYRICS
Fusion
Confusion
Solar energy
The sun
No matter our distortion
Can’t help the synergy
No matter our destruction
Devastation, eradication
Let the light shine
It’ll all be fine
Just let the light shine
We’ll all be fine

Fusion
Confusion
If the nuclear
Is not clear
You’ve got Fusion Confusion

The sun

Ra, ra, ra
God of the sun
Ray, ray, ray
Which either way you say
Ra, ra, ra
Ray, ray, ray
Whichever way you say
Ra, ra
Ray, ray

Golden
God
The Sun

Turning the plants on
To being green
The sun
If you know what I mean
(Their fill of chlorophyll)

LYRICS
The definition of the Lord is the law
Who do you think you are
If you’d seen the things I saw
You’d say they crossed the line too far

Do you know the closest star?
Do you know where you are?
Do you know the next closest

Do you know where you are? Our solar system doesn’t really have a name, so it’s a trick question. The second closest solar system is a bit more than 4 light years away, has 3 stars and is called Alpha Centauri. The closest Alpha Centauri star to us is called Proxima Centauri.

LYRICS
Where do you find beauty?
Is it in your comfort?
If you seek you must confront,
The demons in your body

Chorus
What the heck…
I see it in the crape of your neck
Down the small of your back
… and back
Are you sensitive behind your knee
… let’s see
Can I find your soul
In your sole?

Bathing in the light
Basking at the sight
How do I find beauty
Let me count the ways
With this view that I see
We could be here for days

Chorus

LYRICS
Even when it’s raining, the sun shines
Even though you’re hot, you run cold
Will we be reading between the lines
Just to find… (spirits don’t have to grow old)

An answer for ignorance
When there is a preponderance
Of evidence
And, the witness is you
What will you do?

How quickly things change in the land of Oz
How quickly things change in the land of ours
