Walkin' In The Sun
RÜFÜS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Things have been goin' wrong long enough to know
Everything is right
Been walkin' in the dark long enough to know
Finally seen the light
Been losin' long enough to know when I've finally won
And even a blind man can tell when he's walkin' in the sun

I've cried enough tears to know
This feeling's called a smile
Been bottom rung long enough to know
When I'm doin' it in style
Been run long to know
There's no more need to run
And even a blind man can tell when he's walkin' in the sun

Oh, the wind is at my back
And I'm sailin' on a ship that's overdue
Well I've blown so many chances
I ain't gonna blow this one with you
I've seen enough bad times to know
Good times have begun




And even a blind man can tell when he's walkin' in the sun
And even a blind man can tell when he's walkin' in the sun

Overall Meaning

In the song "Walkin' In The Sun" by Rufus, the singer is reflecting on their past experiences and how they have led them to a newfound state of positivity and contentment. The lyrics suggest that they have gone through enough struggles and difficulties to now fully appreciate the good things in life. The repeated line "even a blind man can tell when he's walkin' in the sun" emphasizes that this positivity is so powerful that even someone who is physically unable to see can feel it.


The first verse talks about how the singer has been through so many wrongs and hardships that they can now identify and appreciate what is good in their life. They have been in the dark for so long that they can now appreciate the light. The second verse continues this theme, with the singer revealing that they have been through the worst and are now doing well. The line "been bottom rung long enough to know when I'm doing it in style" suggests that the singer has come from a place of extreme adversity but is now in a place of success and happiness. The final verse acknowledges the singer's past mistakes but suggests that they will not let those mistakes ruin their current moments of joy and happiness.

It's easy bruh bruh
The animals are like us
The same way we carry genetics and DNA
They do too
We have all this history these ways of living since the creation of the earth
To the creations on the earth
God created the heavens and the Earth
We are creation just like them
The first Man was with all the animals from the ones to the sky
The land
And the sea he had the honor to be with them all in harmony
Bro were called to be beast masters
Not ensalve and be cruel to them but to be close with them and walk together but we lost that chance cause of our ancestor the First Man disobeyed the Creator our God . The truth the truth
A better way , better place
This is the way
