Staring at the Sun

When I was a kid, my father used to say
"I had dreams when I was your age"
I don't get it, why do people change?
I swear I will never be that way

[Chorus]
Staring at the sun, I see a brighter day
Should I, should I look away?
Staring at the sun, I feel its warming rays
Should I, should I walk away?

In the beginning was a golden ray
God's power, but to my dismay
"We're only human," that's what people say
Still I search for a way

[Chorus]

There but for the grace of God go I
I pretend I'm not afraid to die
If there's a heaven, then I will apply
Devil heat, you better take a ride
I'm not crazy, but I believe in butterflies
Dreams are dashed, should be a big surprise
And life is my favourite nursery rhyme
I'm not afraid of the big bad wolf

[Chorus]
