sun please

Gregory Ramos 1961 (Azusa)



so your dark deep in need
 for the light you see takes
 you to your knees

 sun please
 don't shine your light today

 can we call it night
 for evermore

 for your morning hues
 can't be good news

 giving your people hope
 or your light shine after

 the morning shower
 sends your rainbow risen

 all i want is the darkness of
 my soul sun please

 no more high noon days where your
 children play in the warmth
 of your hand

 or give life to the fertile land
 i want all of this band

 night shall reign
 for evermore

 my demands are clear
 no more negotiations

 i want i want i want

 sun please keep me around
 even your moon gives me sound

 of your light
 son please
