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
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 Explain Request ×
