Song to Brother Sun

Hi, Sun, would you please tell me the way to there?

Perhaps my words will have a meaning

Or maybe not

Just foolish things maybe

But even so they leave my heart

They try to grasp the universe

They do

Perhaps today

They just want love

Perhaps the Sun

Can find the way to there

Maybe it’s wrong to ride the clouds

Or maybe not

I’ve ever done

Indeed

And such a thing’s kept me alone

So far above

From any love

Maybe

But now I do

I do need love

Maybe the sun

Can find the way to there

Hi, Sun, would you please tell me the way to there?
