Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Hey, I am the one song of the sun

Above the deep within the light

Father of the one

I am the black gold of the sun

I am the black gold of the sun

[Verse 2]

Gold, I am the daughter of the sun

Shadows that light up the day

Dark moon shadow on the way

I am the black gold of the sun

I am the black gold of the sun

[Verse 3]

I am the tall oak tree

I am the jungle stream

I am the morning sun

Smiling on everyone

I am the shining sea

I am the mountain high

I am so free (I am the black gold of the sun)

[Verse 4]

I am the tall oak tree

I am the jungle stream

I am the morning sun

Smiling on everyone

I am the shining sea

I am the mountain high

I am a man so free (I am the black gold of the sun)
