1

Sun,

Shining in your most reverent sky

Now I know why

Men have come to adore you

 

2

As you start rising

Lovers lay sighing

Feeling your warmth

Between their sheets

 

3

The treachery of morning

That follows the night

Fades away once you’re in sight

And the world becomes new again

 

4

Basking in your splendorous rays

Is where I want to be

To catch even a glimpse of you

Is satisfaction guaranteed

 

5

To see you light up a prairie

Where barley glistens gold

I could watch you all day long;

It never gets old…

 

6

All I want is to turn as dark

As the dust of the Earth;

Reverse original sin

Return to original birth

 

7

Colour me cocoa

As brown as the bean

Turn my face away

From white supremacy

 

8

Shine your light on me

And illumine my mind

Keep me within safe reach;

Protect me from the night

 

9

Fill me with the joy

Of the labourers’ song;

Under your supervision

They work all day long

 

10

Share your particles of gaiety

And you will see

This wondrous world

Looks not as bad as it seems!
