Lyrics The Flower Kings

The Flower Kings

I Am the Sun

Part 1

Been around for a while, grown my beard, I'm still a

child

Deadends, shortcuts, just the same, I'm the master of

my game

Predictable, now you may say, the Danny Kaye of present

day

Close my hand, wave my wand, the brainchild of your

wonderland

Now, I'm at the peak, never forget what I tell you

Never give in to the big sleep, fast becoming

Now, I'm at the edge, never reject what I offer

Never believe what they tell you, let's move a

mountain...!!!

Watch me fight, now watch me bleed on the universal

spiral scene

The progress lingers, thoughts of man, take it as far

as humans can

Now think of me your solid dream, catch me floating

down the river

I'm an island drifting by and time again your sole

forgiver

Now, I am the sun, I am the first day of summer

Never give in to the dark deep, fast becoming

Now, I am the moon, I am the end of tunnel

Never believe in the dark ages, let's move a

mountain...!!

Call me ageless, call me ghost, the diamond duke behind

the shades

The sunflower beneath the skyline swaying in the land

of snakes

Hey, I used to be a king, now I'm just a king of

laughter

Put my faith in anything

Anything that's close to wonder

Anything that's close to wonder!!

I'm in the middle, now see what I've done, staring into

the sun

You think you're drowning, but slowly you slip thru the

grinders of time

Afternoon in the upstreams, begging for time

Humming the words "I feed you my colorful shrine"

I'm in the middle, hold on to what's mine, in the limbo

of time

You think you're dreaming, but gradually you learn what

it's like to be torn

I'm on the other side painting skies to the poor

Humming the words "I'll join you, we'll break down the

scores.

She came from the islands, seen places afar

They said she was gifted, reading the stars

And though I'm certain she's tellin' the truth

She'd faint when the mob start rockin' the boat

In time our eyes will open, the curtains will drop

To see we are one, this one that we are

In time your eyes will open, time will tell

"Larger than life", "revolve among the stars"

She came from a time where time is running slow

Transcending the limits, step up to the flow

She brought to the table the wonders of life

The year of the dragon, she opened our eyes.

In time our heart will open, you'll let her in

To see we are one, this one that we are

In time your eyes will open, time will tell

"Larger than life", "revolve among stars"

Part 2

Getting up in the early morning

Getting all my thins together

I'm leaving today

Gonna make my breakfast tea

Gonna feed the birds and fishes

I'm sailing away

I may be a stray dog, mama, but my mind is as clear as

ever

I'm as free as a...FISH!!

I will get out in the open, I'll find a place in the

summer

On mountains undone

I'm up for the wheels of wonder, I'm in for the cosmic

drive

It's great being alive

I may be a baby elephant, step back or I'll step on

your toes...

I'll be the atomic juggler, I'll pull up a missile up

your nose...

Won't take a bite of your cake

Won't play with your baby snakes

I'll find my way out, thanks

Won't swim in your money pool

Won't be the domestic fool

I'm cool with NO rule

I may be the fuzzy dice but I won't burn my fingers

twice...

I may be the 7th wonder, wake up!! Don't put me on

ice...
