Empire Cast – The Father, The Sun lyrics

This is our moment, ain't no holding us back, time to own it, yeah
Shining bright like the morning, it won't be long 'fore the glory is coming, yeah
Come up and rise, I can feel the fire burning up inside
You know I am the one, the father and the son

Look me in my eyes so you watching
Took him by surprise with no warning
It's God's doing, no one planned it
You must understand that your torch, you can hand it off
'Cause I been seeing out your window
Looking at my face like a mirror
Bridging up the clouds just to make a way
Passing through the storms from the rainy day

The sun used to be far away
But now he's right here even though it's in the distance
So you move the earth with your hands
Now I know it's getting hard, I'm first to assist ya
And when you're old and grey
Remember, I'll take care of ya
It is of a virtue, I do what I have to
We gotta let nature take its place

This is our moment, ain't no holding us back, time to own it, yeah
Shining bright like the morning, it won't be long 'fore the glory is coming, yeah
Come up and rise, I can feel the fire burning up inside
You know I am the one, the father and the son
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, father and the son
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, father and the son

Got a lot of pride I inherit
Written in the stars, couple light years out
Orbiting around like a martian
There's nothing to stop us, together we rock it off
Fire in the sky and we made it
World up in our hand 'cause you saved it
So you be the potter and I'm the clay
No, I couldn't fit your shoes, not in any way

The sun used to be far away
But now he's right here even though it's in the distance
So you move the earth with your hands
Now I know it's getting hard, I'm first to assist ya
And when you're old and grey
Remember, I'll take care of ya
It is of a virtue, I do what I have to
We gotta let nature take its place

This is our moment, ain't no holding us back, time to own it, yeah
Shining bright like the morning, it won't be long 'fore the glory is coming, yeah
Come up and rise, I can feel the fire burning up inside
You know I am the one, the father and the son
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, father and the son
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, father and the son
