Confuse them ever more

Whoever taught these children
To bow to the...

Science of Mine

I have to make a guess
The sun that's in the skies
Is nothing more than light
Reflected from your eyes;
And when you close them
To go to sleep,
The sun itself does seep
Into the horizon to rest there,
Until it's time for you to rise.
