Fire red and round it rises
Now another day’s begun
Full of sour and sweet surprises
Under the sun
Higher red gives way to yellow
Every soul it shines upon
Prays the days will be more mellow
Under the sun
Great ball of fire
Arising higher, higher,
Higher on to noon
Great ball of fire
Arising higher, higher
Yet to set so soon
So soon
So soon to set and leave us yawning
Wearied by the race we’ve run
Someone else’s’ day just dawning
Under the sun
