Follow the Sun
Xavier Rudd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And which way the wind blows
When this day is done
Breathe, breathe in the air
Set your intentions
Dream with care
Tomorrow is a new day for everyone
Brand new moon, brand new sun
So follow, follow the sun
The direction of the bird
The direction of love
Breathe, breathe in the air
Cherish this moment
Cherish this breath
Tomorrow is a new day for everyone
Brand new moon, brand new sun
When you feel life coming down on you
Like a heavy weight
When you feel this crazy society
Adding to the strain
Take a stroll to the nearest waters
And remember your place
Many moons have risen and fallen long, long before you came
So which way is the wind blowin'
And what does your heart say?
So follow, follow the sun
And which way the wind blows
When this day is done
Xavier Rudd's "Follow the Sun" is a song about relaxation and inner reflection. The lyrics advise the listener to follow the sun, winds, and birds while resting in the moment and breathing in the air. Rudd suggests that if anyone feels overwhelmed by life's pressures, they should take a peaceful stroll towards the nearest waters to remember their place in the world. The singer encourages individuals to cherish every instant and breathe in every breath, as tomorrow is a new start with new possibilities.
The song suggests that it's important to trust oneself and follow the path of love, as it will lead individuals to find their true selves. The lyrics imply that regretful pondering about the past or anxious thoughts about the future can be unproductive and counter-productive. The song's message is to let go of one's preconceived notions and ideas, as every second is fresh, unique, and full of potential. This interpretation aligns with Rudd's personal philosophy of living in the moment and staying grounded in mother nature's healing power.

If you die tonight, do you know where you're going? Did you know that Jesus Christ is THE only way to Heaven and He loves you?
Through Him, God offers you a FREE gift – forgiveness. All you need to do is repent, turn away from your sins and evil ways,
from now on put your faith completely in Jesus Christ and be obedient to Him.
Biblical explanation of the Gospel:
God doesn’t want anybody in hell because He loves us, but you must understand why
we deserve hell and why those who refuse to live under His authority will go
there. (Matthew 12:30) ''Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not
gather with me scatters.'' He gave us the law (Ten Commandments) not to make us righteous, but
rather to show us our sin (Romans 3:20). God gave us free will and since Adam
sinned in the garden, sin is the nature of our flesh and we ALL have sinned. (Romans 3:23)
The law demands death to those who sin (Romans 6:23).
Revelation 21:8 says that all liars will go to hell.
For someone to be justified before holy God they have to be sinless, that's why everyone need Jesus Christ - for He lived a sinless life and resurrected.
None of us are good in God’s eyes, because for God good means moral perfection. We all
have broken God’s commandments, we all have sinned in our lives so none of us
are good. ‘’For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is
guilty of breaking all of it.’’ (James 2:10). Our carnal mind is hostile to God; it does not submit
to God's moral law and it never will (Romans 8:7). We hate the thought of God for the same reason a criminal
hates a policeman - we know we have sinned against God and are guilty of it, but we don't want to be damned.
Good News is that Jesus Christ lived a perfect, holy, sinless life, Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
He was buried and He was raised from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:3-4)
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever
believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.’’ (John 3:16)
We aren’t saved based on our good deeds/works, but only by the grace of God through faith.
''For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God -
not by works, so that no one can boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Jesus said ‘’it is finished’’ (John 19:30) just before He died on the cross, which means He paid the fine for our sins
(past, present, future) to be forgiven if we repent and trust in Him.
''What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!'' (Romans 6:15)
''Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out'' (Acts 3:19)
Repentance is a turning away from sin and all evil works, and it always results in changed behavior (Luke 3:8).
Biblically, a person who repents does not continue willfully in sin.
While sorrow from sin is not equivalent to repentance, it is certainly an element of scriptural repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10).
Do not play a hypocrite. ''God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all.
If we claim to have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.'' (1 John 1:5-6)
If you have repented and have genuine faith in Jesus Christ then you will receive the gift of Holy Spirit and be born-again spiritually.
(John 3:3) Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again."
When you believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance
until the redemption of those who are God’s possession - to the praise of His glory. (Ephesians 1:13-14)
You are born again with the Spirit of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. (John 3:36)
''You will know them by their fruits'' (Matthew 7)
If you have been truly born-again with the Holy Spirit and He has regenerated your heart, you will desire righteousnes -
to do what is good and righteous in God's eyes, to seek God everyday in His Word and prayer, to strengthen your relationship with God.
You will no longer desire to willfully continue living in sin but will want to obey God out of your love for Him because of His amazing grace
revealed to us through the death and resurrection of His Son.
''Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.'' (2 Corinthians 5:17)
''For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.'' (Eph 2:10)
You will have a testimony - of what your life had been before and how has it changed now when you have surrendered it to Lord Jesus Christ.
As a declaration and affirmation of your faith in Jesus Christ, get baptised in water because He commanded us to do so.
In John 3:5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit.''
''Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit'' (Matthew 28:19)
''Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.'' (Acts 2:41)
''And this water symbolizes the baptism that now saves you also - not the removal of dirt from the body,
but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God - through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,'' (1 Peter 3:21)
''We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that,
just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.'' (Romans 6:4)
''Having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God,
who raised him from the dead.'' (Colossians 2:12)
Please get right with God and start your relationship with Jesus Christ today before it’s too late, because there’s not much time left!
"But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.’’ (Mark 13:32)
Get to know Christ through God's Word - Bible. At first I recommend reading Gospel of John and book of Romans. God bless you!
Jeremiah 29:13 - ''You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.''

Siga, siga o sol
E para qual lado o vento sopra
Quando este dia terminar
Respire, respire fundo
Defina suas intenções
Sonhe com cautela
Amanhã é um novo dia para todos
Uma nova lua e um novo sol
Então siga, siga o sol
Na direção dos passarinhos
Na direção do amor
Respire, respire fundo
Contemple este momento
Contemple essa expiração
Amanhã será um novo dia, dia para todos
Uma lua e um sol novinhos em folha
Quando você sentir a uma carga pesada sob sua vida
Quando você se sentir pressionado por essa sociedade maluca
Vá imediatamente à beira da água mais próxima, e lembre-se do seu lugar
Muitas luas terão nascido e terão se posto bem antes de você chegar
Então, para qual lado o vento esta soprando?
E o que seu coração diz?
Então siga, siga o sol
E para qual lado o vento sopra
Quando este dia terminar
@espiritodonativo
Siga o Sol
Siga, siga o sol
E a maneira que o vento sopra
Quando este dia chega ao fim
Respire, respire o ar
Defina suas intenções
Sonhe com cuidado
Amanhã é um novo dia para todos
Uma nova lua e um novo sol
Então, siga, siga o sol
A direção das aves
A direção do amor
Respire, respire o ar
Aprecie este momento
Aprecie o fôlego
Amanhã é um novo dia para todos
Uma nova lua e um novo sol
Quando você sentir a vida caindo em você como uma carga pesada
Quando você sentir essa sociedade louca te pressionando
Dê um passeio à beira da água mais próxima, lembre-se do seu lugar
Muitas luas se levantaram e caíram muito, muito tempo antes de você chegar
Então, a maneira que o vento sopra
O que seu coração diz
Então, siga, siga o sol
E a maneira que o vento sopra
Quando este dia chegar ao fim

I want Xavier to know that this song got me through a terrible detox of heavy opiate poisoning. I would pull myself up off the ground crying, screaming, begging the gods to take away my pain. Over and over Id play this song telling myself the sun was shining and I was alive. Day after day he got me through. I’m almost 2 years sober. His music saved my soul. Thank you Xavier. Your words are straight from heaven. Thank you for making it possible for me to be here today. I know your music kept me alive on a daily basis. Aloha
