The Sun
Mike Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Saturday sun
Came early one morning
In a sky so clear and blue
Saturday sun
Came without warning
So no one knew what to do

Saturday sun
Brought people and faces
That didn't seem much
In their day
But when I remember
Those people and places
They were really too good
In their way
In their way
In their way
Saturday sun
Won't come and see me today

Think about stories
With reason and rhyme
Circling all through your brain
And think about people
In their season and time
Returning again and again
And again
And again
But Saturday's sun
Has turned to Sunday's rain

So Sunday sat




In the Saturday sun
And wept for a day gone by

Line by Line Meaning

The sun breaks upon the dawn
The sun rises and the darkness of the night fades away


The night fades and a new day is born
The darkness of the night disappears and a new day starts


As the world wakes up to a brand new day
As the people on the earth start their day


The eagle takes to the wing
The eagle starts to fly


And creation finds a new song to sing
The nature comes alive and chirps, sings a new song


And the earth turns round
The earth rotates as a part of its natural cycle


And a new day starts to resound
And a new day echoes everywhere


And the miracle of life starts over again
The miracle of living things starts once again


And the sun awakes
The sun rises and becomes fully visible


All creation to a new day
All living and non-living things greet the new day


Starts over again, over again
The cycle of life repeats itself again and again


Children awake in their beds
Children wake up from their sleep in their beds


And toasters are loaded with bread
And people put bread in their toasters


People fill buses and trains
People board buses and trains to travel


And roads fill with cars once again
The roads become busy with cars again


As this new day unfolds
As this new day progresses


I will make it my greatest goal
I will make it my top priority


To give thanks above for this new day
To express gratitude to the higher power for this new day


And in whatever it holds
No matter what this day brings


I will let the sun rise in my soul
I will embrace the positivity and energy of the new day within me


And give thanks above for this new day
And express gratitude to the higher power for this new day
