To shine brighter than heaven

To eclipse even the Earth and moon

To grow what’s green from seven to seven

To rule the world from July to June

This is what you do

The center of our days

With all that we go through

You light our paths, guide our ways

But it must be a lonely thing to be

Always shining brighter than the rest

To know each ray of light we see

Means you alone must do your best

The Earth has the moon, so they dance

Mercury and Venus bow, spin and sway

But where is the Sun’s romantic glance?

What keeps him company, night or day?

Do you think the sun gets lonely up there?

Do you imagine its fiery twin or mate?

I wonder if anyone can ever truly care

About the solo star that seals our very fate

The sun lives in each of us, so we live as it can

But I wonder what it’s like to shine brighter than.
