Sun
Cat Stevens Lyrics

Sun is the reason
The sun is the cause for growth and life on Earth.

And the world it will bloom
With the help of sun's light, the world will flourish with a variety of creatures and plants.

Cause sun lights the sky
The sun provides light to the sky in order for everyone to see.

And the sun lights the moon
The sun indirectly lights up the moon, which reflects its light down to Earth.

Sun is the reason
The sun is also responsible for the growth of plants, making them green and inviting.

All the happy trees are green
Trees are a happy sight due to being green in color, which is caused by sun's energy.

Then who can explain
However, there are other things in this world, like dreams, that we cannot attribute to the sun's influence.

The light in your dream
The light you might see in your dream could be something that science cannot fully explain yet.

Sit you down
Addressing young people to listen carefully.

Sit you down young gentlemen
Addressing male youths to be attentive.

there's something I want you to know
A message the singer wants to impart.

You keep on asking me
The young men kept asking questions.

You keep on asking me why
The young men kept asking the reason for their existence.

Why are we here?
A profound question that everyone asks at some point in their lives.

It started a long time ago
The answer to that question began a while ago.

Me and your mum on the night
The story of the artist meeting the mother of the young men.

Yeah yeah yeah, we met
Just that - the artist and the mother met.

I was on the road again
The singer was traveling a lot to perform as a musician.

She was in C79
The mother was staying at a particular hotel room.

I'll never never forget
The artist will never forget that night.

I'll never forget that night no
Emphasizing that the artist will always remember that night.

We met in a back road
The artist and mother met in a less-traveled part of town.

Behind the stage
Behind where the singer was putting on a music performance.

She had the best figure by far
The artist was quite taken by the mother's appearance.

Huh a thousand hours I've looked at her eyes but I
The singer has looked into her eyes for a long time.

Still don't know what color they are
Despite looking at her for a long time, the singer doesn't know the mother's eye color.

Me and your mum on the night
The story of the singer meeting the mother of the young men, again.

Oh Lord.
An exclamation of surprise or awe.

We met
Repeating the fact that the artist met the young men's mother.

She was a junkie then
The mother was an addict at the time of meeting the singer.

And I was having a good time
The singer was enjoying himself during that period.

Back on the road again
Returning to the traveling musician lifestyle.

Oh momma I was on the road again
A playful expression, further emphasizing that the artist was always traveling.

Back in suite 79
Returning to the same hotel room or suite as before.

I'll never never forget
The singer will never forget that particular hotel room.

I'll never forget that time
Emphasizing that the artist will always remember that hotel stay.

Back on the road again
Still a traveling musician.

Oh I'm traveling that line
Describing the singer's travels as a line that he's following.

I was a pop star then
Referring to a time in the past when the singer was popular as a musician.

I'm still having a good time
Regardless of what's happening, the artist is still enjoying his life.
