Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Throughout the ages of iron, bronze, and stone
We marveled at the night sky and what may lie beyond
We burned our frames to the elemental ones
Made sacrifices for beauty, peace, and love
[Verse 4]
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 begun
Our songs will fill the air
[Verse 5]
And you know it's time to look for reasons why
Just reach up and touch the sky
To the heavens, we'll sing
[Verse 6]
We are the children of the sun
Our journey has begun
[Verse 7]
All the older children
Come out at night
And we make soulless
Great hunger in their eyes
Unaware of the beauty
That sleeps tonight
[Verse 8]
And all the queen's horses
And all the king's men
Will never put these children back
Together again
[Verse 9]
Faith, hope
Our charities
Breathe slow
Our enemies
[Verse 10]
We are the children of the sun
We are the children of the sun
