Sunflower

The sun goes down, the lights go out
You go to sleep and dream about
What you wanna be when you're grown

Every day they steal your prayers
You keep your secret hidden from them far away
And you never share what you know

Dream what you are, you sunflower
Be what you are, sunflower

Your father said it's in your head
He knew someone who knew someone
Who wound up dead, we all wind up dead
We all wind up dead and you know

The shadows start to steal your heart
They get inside and piece by piece
They tear apart your very soul
And your very art and you know

So turn and face the sun again
Dream what you are, you sunflower
Rise up and face the sun again
Be what you are, you sun flower

We always run towards the sun
You lead us on and cut us down, you cannot run
From the damage done and there's damage done
And you know

We'll turn and face the sun again
Dream what you are, you sunflower
Rise up and face the sun again
Be what you are, you sunflower

So turn and face the sun again
Dream what you are you sunflower
Rise up and face the sun again
Be what you are, you sunflower

The sun goes down, the lights go out
