Children of the Sun
Tiene Tempah ft. John Martin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lay down your head
You're not alone
Anywhere you go, I follow
We are the children of the sun
That's all you need to know

Lay down your head
You're not alone
Anywhere you go, I follow
We are the children of the sun
That's all you need to know

Bitch I'm a moon walker like Michael, sky walk all over my rivals
Both hands on that Bible, bitch I'm next in line for that title
When they got had nothing to do, what was I do, who was in the studio with Taio
We climbing high, we on the Kilimanjaro, and they're panicking
They don't really know what's happening
Never gotten clothes off a mannequin, we don't want no comparison
I overdose on extravagance, we went for gold and got platinum
I told my bro' to get an ambulance 'cause I caught a cold and went spazz on them
How can home be where the heart is,
When your shadow even fucking leaves you when you are in darkness
Still get stopped by Sergeant Pepper, looking for that ziggy stardust
After a lifetime of regret, I'm just looking for some answers

Lay down your head
You're not alone
Anywhere you go, I follow
We are the children of the sun
That's all you need to know

Lay down your head
You're not alone
Anywhere you go, I follow
We are the children of the sun
That's all you need to know

I had opportunity in my window, wise words in my kindle
Disturbing London, we here to ball, your team stuck in limbo
Like Freddie, Bruno and Ringo, I saw the signs and symbols
With that top down on my yellow ride, let bitches hate on my bimbo
I'm yards away from that milestone, international dial tone
Put me through amaro when you Instagram with your iPhone
From yellow bricks to them brown stones, I ring bells, I'm household
Look at all the rappers we outsold so keep your mouth closed, yeah
How did I become so jaded, maybe all these insecurities are making me feel naked
Feel like Harry did in Vegas, had my privacy invaded
That's a liberty a pity, the epitome of what fame is
Priest up in my parish, keep on putting me in their prayers
Swear I'd never sell my soul, my pride and dignity is too major, yeah
We rarely ever get those second chances, after a lifetime of regret
I'm just looking for some answers, yeah

Lay down your head
You're not alone
Anywhere you go, I follow
We are the children of the sun
That's all you need to know

Lay down your head
You're not alone
Anywhere you go, I follow
We are the children of the sun
That's all you need to know

Looking for a light that can outshine the sun
I know one day our time will come
Bought a camera to capture these cinematic nights
Still don't satisfy my appetite for this lavish life
Tell me, doctor, am I fit for all these flashing lights?
Like Michael said, it doesn't matter if you're black or white
We got the colors of the sun to descend above us
All we have is each other in case you happen to wonder, let's go

Lay down your head
You're not alone
Anywhere you go, I follow
We are the children of the sun
That's all you need to know

Lay down your head
You're not alone
Anywhere you go, I follow




We are the children of the sun
That's all you need to know

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Children of the Sun" by Tinie Tempah ft. John Martin convey the idea of unity, companionship, and the pursuit of a brighter future. The chorus, which is repeated throughout the song, speaks of being part of a community that supports, follows, and encourages one another. It suggests that no matter where one goes in life, they will not be alone because there will always be someone to share the journey with. The phrase "we are the children of the sun" refers to a group of people who are unafraid of the harsh realities of life and are determined to make the most of their circumstances.


Tinie Tempah's rap verses are in contrast to the melodic chorus. In his verses, he talks about his achievements, the struggles he faced, and the pressures of fame. He refers to his desire for success and recognition, and the sacrifices he had to make to achieve that. He also mentions his insecurities and the toll that fame has taken on his privacy. These lyrics emphasize the importance of strength, determination, and self-belief in pursuing one's dreams.
