The Flower Kings - I Am The Sun, Part One lyrics

Been around for a while Grown my beard, I'm still a child Dead ends shortcuts just the same, I'm the master of my game Predictable, now you may say, The Danny Kaye of present day Close my hand and wave my wand, Brainchild of your wonderland Now, (Now) I'm at the peak Never forget what I tell you Never give in to the big sleep, fast becoming Now, I'm at the edge Never reject what I offer Never believe what they tell you, let's move a mountain Now watch me fight, now watch me bleed, A universal spiral seed The progress lingers, thoughts of man-- Take it as far as humans can (Now) think of me your solid dream, Catch me floating down the river I'm an island drifting by, Time again your sole forgiver Now, I am the sun I am the first day of summer Never give in to the dark deep, fast becoming Now, (now!) I am the moon I am the end of the tunnel Never believe in the dark age, let's move a mountain Call me ageless, call me ghost, The diamond duke behind the shades, Sunflower beneath the skyline Swaying in the land of snakes Hey, I used to be a king Now I'm just a king of laughter Put me faith in anything, Anything that's close to wonder Anything that's close to wonder... I'm in the middle, now see what I done, Staring into the sun You think you're drowning, but slowly you slip Through the grinders of time Afternoon the upstream, begging for time Hum the words "I feed you my colorful shrine" I'm in the middle, hold on to what's mine In the limbo of time You think you're dreaming, but gradually you learn What it's like being torn I'm on the other side painting skies to the poor Hum the words "I'll join you; we'll break down the scores" Break down, down (Break down, down) Break down, down (Break down, down) Break down, down (Break down, down) Break down, down (I left my heart in San Francisco... I left my mind at Brisco Bay) She came from the islands, seen places afar They said she was gifted, reading the stars And though I'm certain she was telling the truth She'd faint when the mob start rocking the boat In time, your eyes will open, And the curtains will drop To see we are one, this one that we are In time, your eyes will open, And time will tell Larger than life, revolve among stars She came from a time, time running slow Transcending the limits, step up to the flow She brought to the table all the wonders of life The year of the dragon, she opened her eyes In time, your heart will open, And you'll let her in To see we are one, this one that we are In time, our hearts will open, And time will tell Larger than life, revolve among stars
