Sun
Belinda Carlisle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now you know its always been
Suddenly clear, perfectly near
Reaching up to turn within
Its the moment of trust
We are stardust
No place, no face, no time
Nothing to know, nothing to find
You were born to be
You only have to see
You are the sun
You are the sun
Turn away from cold and the night
Turn your face to the sun
We are truth, we are one
Turn your heart to love and to light
The magic is there
You can shine anywhere
And if the light inside becomes so bright that you cant hide
Go on and let it show, let it glow, let it grow
You are the sun
You are the sun
Indescribable, indefinable, undeniable
Its so wonderful
Out of space and time
Indescribable, indefinable, undeniable
Its so magical
Out of space and time
We are the sun, we are the sun
(Indescribable, undeniable
Its so wonderful)
Indescribable, indefinable, undeniable
Its so magical




Out of space and time
We are the sun, we are the sun
