Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tempered by greed
Tall buildings breathe
Give a sigh of relief when it's night
Stirrin' from sleep
We night-owls creep
Is there any sign of life under this stone?
Ooh-whoa-oh-oh
Star chime, hollow and true
Love, child
[Verse 2]
Weep for me
And I will cast your wheels in motion
Walk with me
The inner reaches of emotion
Sheltered by creed
One piled on one
Do you have a little room for one small one?
Ooh-whoa-oh-oh-oh
Light shine wild and free
Sunrise
[Verse 3]
Weep for me
And I will set your wheels in motion
Keep with me
Oh, like a roller on the ocean
Stand by me
And I will fill you with devotion
Walk with me
The inner reaches of emotion
[Verse 4]
Here we are (In the sunshine)
In the sunshine
Everything is fine
(Here we are)
Here we are
(Sunshine)
Everything, everything is fine
[Verse 5]
Weep for me
The sands of time will fill the ocean
Keep with me
Till rays of sunshine fill the ocean
Walk with me
The inner reaches of emotion
Stand with me
And I will fill you with devotion
[Verse 6]
Weep for me
The sands of time will fill the ocean
Keep with me
And like a roller on the ocean
Stand by me
And I will fill you with devotion
Walk with me
The inner reaches of emotion
[Verse 7]
The sands of time will fill the ocean
Keep with me
And rays of sunshine fill the ocean
Walk with me
The inner reaches of emotion
