Fool's Garden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There ain´t no love when you don´t come
Welcome sun. welcome , welcome
Welcome good old sun
Send out your light to everyone
Show your face, the night is gone
Welcome
Light up all the faces
Illuminate the world
Shine on every flower
Give us all your power
Come and break the day
Lead us , we are blind men
lead us that we find an answer for a better world
Welcome good old sun
There ain´t no love when you don´t come
Welcome sun. welcome , welcome
Welcome good old sun
Send out your light to everyone
Show your face, the night is gone
Welcome
Set our hearts on fire
Let our souls get higher
Give us love and peace
Burn envy and hatred
Encourage us to make it
Illuminate the world
Lead us , we are blind men
lead us that we find an answer for a better world
Welcome good old sun
There ain´t no love when you don´t come
Welcome sun. welcome , welcome
Welcome good old sun
Send out your light to everyone
Show your face, the night is gone

The song "Welcome Sun" by Fool's Garden is an ode to the sun and a plea for its return. The lyrics express a sense of longing and desperation for the sun to shine, as without it, there is no love, no light and no hope. The chorus, "Welcome good old sun, there ain't no love when you don't come" encapsulates this feeling perfectly. The song is all about the transformative power of the sun, and how it has the ability to light up all the places and faces and bring about positive change in the world.
The lyrics also speak to the need for guidance and leadership, with the repeated refrain, "lead us, we are blind men, lead us that we find an answer for a better world." This is a call to action for the human race to come together and find solutions to the problems facing our world, with the sun serving as a source of inspiration and motivation.
