To The Sun

 To the Sun that will rise today,

I pray," I want to rise with you!"

You are beginning a new day,

It shall be my beginning too...

To the Sun that will rise today,

I say, " Turn the sky pink and blue!"

You bring death to the darkest of nights,

Bring light into every flower and dew...

To the Sun that is rising today,

I pay my respect to you,

The courage that you bring

Into earth, into earth-beings,

Is more that what

 We can ever do for you!

The Sun that is rising will rise alright,

You are the coal who has to transform,

Ignite!

Wave good-bye to the quiet night,

Step into the sunny day,

Be the light!

To the Sun that will rise today,

I pray, " Rise again tomorrow,

When the sacred night is far away,

I will be waiting for you,

Present me your courage to borrow!"

For before night, it's day...
