Like The Sun
Zucchero & Macy Gray feat. Jeff Beck Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

In this world I am gonna walk
Until my feet refuse to take me any longer
Yes, I'm gonna walk and walk some more

I will ask everyone I meet
Ask till they tell me there's no answers anymore
Yes, I'm gonna ask more and some more

And I will love somebody somewhere
'Til my heart breaks until it's done
Until it explodes from out of nowhere
Like the sun, like the sun

In this world I am gonna sing
Until my voice won't be singing any longer
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Yes, I'm gonna sing more and some more

And I will love somebody somewhere
'Til my heart breaks until it's done
Until it explodes from out of nowhere
Like the sun, like the sun

Whoa yeah, ah yeah, yeah, yeah

Like the sun
I will be looking at everyone
Until my eyes refuse to see them any longer
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Though it hurts me so, gonna keep on looking, looking
Looking at me

And I will love somebody somewhere
'Til my heart breaks until it's done
Until it explodes from out of nowhere
Like the sun, like the sun
Yeah

In this world I will love no more
So love can't hurt me, hurt me any longer
