Child of the Sun
Goombay Dance Band Lyrics

God created all this,
The entire world, including the elements of nature such as the rain, oceans, sun, and moon was created by a supreme being- God.

The rain, the oceans, the sun and the moon.
God created the fundamental elements of nature such as the rain, oceans, sun, and moon.

One time in your life you'll come to the point
At some point in life, every individual comes to the realization that there must be a higher power or God.

When you realize.
This marks a shift in one's thinking when they understand the presence of a supreme being or God.

There must be a supreme being,
There is a fundamental belief that a supreme being exists.

And there must be God.
God is recognized as the ultimate being or force in the universe.

See the birds fly up in the sky.
The beauty of nature such as birds flying in the sky is proof of God's existence and power.

Look at the mountains, the stars that shine.
Nature's wonders like the mountains and shining stars, make it evident that God created everything beautifully and stylistically.

God made in one by one, in seven days.
The belief that God created the world and everything in it over a period of seven days is a sign of his power and majestic authority.

He made the golden sun to watch your ways.
The sun is important in life because it was created to light us up and provide comfort through the warmth that it produces.

Life's a wonder to little boys,
To the youth or children, the world and human beings are fascinating and amazing, making life a mystery to them.

So full of hunger and full of joy.
The young, although not completely aware of the world around them, should take advantage of what the world has to offer to them. They should remain happy and driven to explore and learn.

One day you'll understand the meaning of it all,
As people grow, they begin to learn more about themselves and the world around them, which enables them to understand their purpose and the things that happen.

Then you'll walk like a man, free, proud and tall.
One's understanding of their purpose and self can place them in a position of confidence and pride- like a man who stands tall and proud.

Chorus: Child of the sun, child of the earth,
The chorus affirms the idea that humans are cherished beings of God, created for a purpose and with a relationship to the world we live in.

You're just a part in God's universe.
Humans are not individual beings but are part of God's universe, meaning God is present in every aspect of our lives.

And only God knows what will be.
God is the only one with complete knowledge of what the future holds for us, and so it is important to depend and trust in Him.

He loves you till the very last day.
God's love for us is eternal, and it never ends.

Child of the sun, in his hands forever you'll stay.
As children of God, He will always be with us, caring for us during good and bad times.

Close your eyes dear, here comes the night.
Even after a busy and tiring day, one can rest and be confident because God is present and is there to watch over us.

I wish you sweet dreams till the morning light.
A good night's sleep is critical, and one should hope for sweet dreams that will keep them rejuvenated for the next day's work and God's service.

I'll sing you a lullaby till the bluebird comes
A caregiver or parent will always be with a child to comfort them through challenging times or any emotionally difficult encounters that they may experience.

And keep my eyes on you, you're not alone.
Like a caregiver or parent, God is always present with us through any circumstance, watching over and guiding us through life.
