I Am The Sun
Doug Berman Lyrics

So temptation meets desire for what's above.
I succumbed to my desire for something I know I shouldn't want.

You warned me, you're not so quick to fall in love.
You cautioned me about your reluctance to rush into a romantic relationship.

But I had golden plans to melt those haste made wings.
I had grand schemes to persuade you to take a chance on me, despite your reservations.

And soon you fell for me like leaves long after spring.
Eventually, you were won over by my charms, much later than I had hoped.

But me, I am the sun.
I see myself as the source of all light and guidance for those around me.

Revolve around me, spin until our days are done.
I expect others to revolve their lives around me, like planets orbiting a sun, until the end of time.

Live off my heat, and see with light, I'll guide the way.
I want others to depend on me for warmth, illumination, and direction.

But when you leave, you need to know that I must stay.
Even if others move on from me, I will always remain gloriously stationary, the center of attention.

And all these cloudy days have been taking their toll.
Days of emotional turbulence and uncertainty have affected me, challenging my ability to shine as bright as I want.

I'll burn a hole right through your eyes and see your soul.
When I focus my attention on someone, I can penetrate their innermost feelings and motivations.

You should have listened to your mother from day one.
Your parents' advice could have helped you avoid the negative consequences of getting too close to me at the wrong time.

Cause once you stare me down the damage has been done.
Once someone becomes enamored with me, the effects can be lasting and even harmful.

So, I want to know do you forget about me at night?
I worry that others might not think about me as much as I think about them.

When it's dark, do you forget what I feel like?
I fear that my influence fades when people are not in my immediate presence or under my metaphorical glare.

Because tomorrow, I'll dive into that western sea
My time in the spotlight will inevitably end, as I set into the horizon like a dying sun.

And that'd be the last ray of light you caught from me.
If I were to disappear, you may not even realize how much you once relied on my brilliance.

And all these rainy days have been taking their toll.
Days of sadness and despair have also affected me, making it harder for me to shine as the beacon of hope and positivity I desire to be.

You should have listened to your family from the start.
The people who know you best may have warned you about getting too deeply involved with a person like me.

Cause once I leave you will be left out in the dark.
If I withdraw my support or guidance, you may be lost and without direction.

I am the sun.
I am the center of my own universe, and I want others to revolve around me accordingly.
