To Carry the Sun Within

To carry the sun when all around's grown dark,
Is surely a challenge, a fear grim and stark.
What if it’s stolen, or burns out like oil,
What if they deem it worthless, prone to spoil?

What if they scoff, for you shine too bright,
And seize your neck with a noose drawn tight?
Command you fade, become something mundane,
Kill creativity, wisdom, and faith’s reign.

What if they order you dim down to grey,
To silence your wishes and keep dreams at bay?
To burn just for dreams of fortune's embrace,
Yet the sun... oh, it’s burdensome space.

They bid you stay on the lowest rung,
To cherish mere things, and riches unsung,
To feign compassion for applause’s sweet sound,
To blaze just with dreams, in the marketplace bound.

Ah, the sun...
To hell with it! It comes at a price,
Won’t clear your debts or bring you advice,
It won’t grace your shoulders with fabric so fine,
It won’t make the fool wise, or the ignorant shine.

Yet, you cradle it close,
Like treasures confined,
Laughing so brightly, the shadows unwind,
In alleys aglow with your luminous cheer,

And it too starts to shimmer with vibrant delight,
Like leaves that are dancing in the autumn’s warm light,
Like summer’s wild waves upon the sea’s soft shore,
Meandering over where whispered tales soar,
And bubbles, shining like stars newly born.

You tread on the nails, sharp and piercing, it’s true,
Yet you burn, not as candles, but brightly anew,
With warmth like the sun, so free and so bold,
Laughing at fleeting scorn, yet uncontrolled,
For they’ve grown accustomed, in life’s fleeting game,
To think that pure light's just an old candlestick’s flame.

Lyrics of the song

(Verse 1)
To carry the sun when all around's grown dark,
Is surely a challenge, a fear grim and stark.
What if it's stolen, or burns out like oil,
What if they deem it worthless, prone to spoil?

(Chorus)
Oh, sun, you shine so bright, despite the darkest night,
You burn with fervor, though they try to extinguish your light.
You won't be tamed, you keep on shining,
Guiding through the shadows, where others can't find.

(Verse 2)
What if they mock, for you shine too bold,
And try to snuff your flame, with a noose drawn cold?
Command you to dim, become something mundane,
Kill creativity, wisdom, and faith's reign.

(Chorus)
Oh, sun, you shine so bright, despite the darkest night,
You burn with fervor, though they try to extinguish your light.
You won't be tamed, you keep on shining,
Guiding through the shadows, where others can't find.

(Bridge)
But you cradle it close, like treasures confined,
Laughing so brightly, the shadows unwind,
And it too starts to shimmer with vibrant delight,
Like leaves that are dancing in the autumn's warm light.

(Transition)
Like summer's wild waves upon the sea's soft shore,
Meandering over where whispered tales soar,
And bubbles, shining like stars newly born.

(Verse 3)
You tread on the nails, sharp and piercing, it's true,
Yet you burn, not as candles, but brightly anew,
With warmth like the sun, so free and so bold,
Laughing at fleeting scorn, yet uncontrolled.

(Chorus)
Oh, sun, you shine so bright, despite the darkest night,
You burn with fervor, though they try to extinguish your light.
You won't be tamed, you keep on shining,
Guiding through the shadows, where others can't find.

(Outro)
Oh, sun, you shine so bright, despite the darkest night,
You burn with fervor, though they try to extinguish your light.
You won't be tamed, you keep on shining,
Guiding through the shadows, where others can't find.
