Sweet baby sun, ever happy and young,
spring along.
Bloom baby sun, do your dance in the rain,
bow again.
Born from an echo, bringing back alive
all things that were nursed in their graves by the Reaper.
Ouroboros turning, dressing our world
in green.
Oh dear sun, not a baby so young anymore.
Why darling sun, why you’re leaving again?
All too soon.
What is this magic? When you’re growing up,
we grow very small, yes, we all, everywhere,
and yes, you’re growing things tall,
yet our days seem to shrink.
Hey daddy moon, all that time for your plans,
are you sad?
Please mother moon, you are drifting away,
can’t you stay?
Arriving by the sunshine, leaving with the moonglow,
we only have this one chance, only one time,
the time of our life to find us all the keys of light.
Leave the caves chordless, seek to gather all those
tones for your door singin’ “Why are we here?”
Open all the locks and take a deep breath,
step thru …
