Children Of The Sun - Dead Can Dance

Children Of The Sun - Dead Can Dance We are ancient 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 our frames 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 began 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 will sing We are the children of the sun Our journey has begun Are we older children Come out at night And even 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 Breathe slow, our enemies We are the children of the sun We are the children of the sun
