When The Sun Comes Down
Incognito Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time to wake up
In every nation
Go feel the vibration
That takes me away
Me people stand up
To fight desperation
As we're raising, raising
Until the break of day

Hey
I will lift you up
We can stir it up
Feel the love around
When the sun comes down
People give it up
'Cause we're rising up
Like the sun (like the sun)
So hold on

I will lift you up
We can stir it up
Feel the love around
When the sun comes down
People give it up
'Cause we're rising up
Like the sun
So hold on
Right

Come share my dream
No facing, no fighting
Me love like deep shining
All anyway

Hey
Me people get off
To join this foundation
As we're raising, raising
Until the break of day

I will lift you up
We can stir it up
Feel the love around
When the sun comes down
People give it up
'Cause we're rising up
Like the sun
So hold on

I will lift you up
We can stir it up
Feel the love around
When the sun comes down
People give it up
'Cause we're rising up
Like the sun
So hold on

Come on down
And share all your dreams
The time has come

It's so hard to be myself
when you'er around
my cool disappears

but you rell me that's not the way
till you say it's fine to put the hearts on the line

i guess it's time to put my faith in you
and let my world undo

(when the sun comes down
will you be around)

stay like the heavens
the whole night through

(when the sun comes down
will i hear the sound)

the shisper of your kisses
until the night is through

and when i try to hide what's in my eyes
you look at me
and your smile make them shine

and i just waht to gey right next to you
and let me world undo

(when the sun comes down
will you be around)

stay like the heavens
the whole night through
