Dave Bixby
The sun in the morning
Comes over the hill
And kisses the tall grass beside me
We are so young
And living is an art
To be good at
We get our strength in the daytime
By the Sun's golden rays
That lasts us into the nighttime
We find ourselves in many ways
The sun in the morning
The new day is dawning
Look out your window
And see yourself walking
Through fields of love
And the sky up above
Is with you
We are so young
At heart
And living is an art
To be good at
Oh, God, we love you
How can we say
We love you?
We love you.
How can anybody say?
The song "Morning Sun" by Dave Bixby is a beautifully simple and poetic tune that describes the morning sun rising over the hill and shining on the tall grass beside the singer. The imagery of the sun’s rays illuminating the landscape is a metaphor for the energy and inspiration one can derive from the world around them. The singer is youthful and full of life, and sees the act of living as an art form that they are constantly trying to master. The morning sun is a symbol of the power and vitality that the singer needs to succeed in this pursuit.
The song goes on to describe how the sun gives them strength during the day, and how they find themselves in many ways under its influence. The sun’s light and warmth keep them going, allowing them to navigate life’s twists and turns while remaining true to themselves. They encourage the listener to look out their window and see themselves walking through fields of love, with the sky above them as an eternal companion.
Towards the end of the song, the singer expresses their love for God and wonders how anyone can truly express this feeling in words. The song’s serene and contemplative tone perfectly captures the beauty and mystery of the world as seen through the eyes of someone who truly appreciates it.
