Under The Sun

Charles David Sharp


The light through the crack in the window 
Blinded my eyes 
But it showed me a world full of pain 
I had not realized 
Cold wind to my back 
And destiny stands on the rise 
One road of angels and truth 
One of devils and lies 

And everything comes and everything goes 
There's nothing new under the sun 
You know that you reap whatever you sow 
It's no mystery to anyone under the sun 

Shattered illusions of love 
Blinded my eyes 
But the tears and the pain 
And the scars that remain made me wise 
I remember the trace of a face 
Against the sunrise 
Heaven is only as far away as the crow flies 

And everything comes and everything goes 
There's nothing new under the sun 
You know that you reap whatever you sow 
It's no mystery to anyone under the sun 

Old man with a sign on the corner 
Opened my eyes 
Preaching Apocalypse 
He began to prophesize 
Like a voice in the wilderness 
Nobody noticed his cries 
But the truth in the words that I heard 
Caused my spirit to rise, rise 

And everything comes and everything goes 
There's nothing new under the sun 
You know that you reap whatever you sow 
It's no mystery to anyone under the sun
