UNDER THE SUN

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
