Songtext zu ' Everything Under The Sun ' von Extreme

Dawn wakes the silence
Of a fainted lullaby
Day breaks the eyelid
From a song sung in my eye

Night rests in peace
As the Sun mourns the sky
All's accounted for sheep
Over a horizon's I

Rise, rise 'n shine
A new day is coming
Rise, rise in time
For everything under the Sun

And when you see
A south wind blow
Forecasting, you will know
A hot day, will be on the way
(Foolish one)
You analyze
The earth and the sky
I ask you why
You can't analyze the signs
Of the present time

I had a dream
Not unlike the one from old
Of a man king
Whose head was made of gold
Stand castles of sand
Weather the sundials rise 'n fall
Chasing wind through your hands
'Til water runs dry the well

Dream, Daniel, dream
For what's yet to come
See, Daniel, see
For everything under the Sun

And in the west
A cloud appears
For shadows of
A coming shower near
Oh, so near
(Hypocrites)
You analyze
The earth and the sky
I ask you why
You can't analyze the signs
Of the present time

Vanity
Yes, all is vanity
Vanity
Yes, all's futility

For one that dies
Another's born
Where laughter's heard
Comforters mourn
There's a time for
Everything

A song for love
Even abhor
An olive branch
Or winter's war
There's a time for
Everything, under the Sun

I'm tired of being me
And I don't like what I see
I'm not who I appear to be
So I start off every day
Down on my knees I will pray
For a change in any way
But as the day goes by
I live through another lie
If it's any wonder why

Am I ever gonna change
Will I always stay the same
If I say one thing
Then I do the other
It's the same old song
That goes on forever
Am I ever gonna change
I'm the only one to blame
When I think I'm right
I wind up wrong
It's a futile fight
Gone on too long

Please tell me if it's true
Am I too old to start anew
Cause that's what I want to do
But time and time again
When I think I can
I fall short in the end
So why do I even try
Will it matter when I die
Can anyone hear my cry?

Am I ever gonna change
Take it day by day
My will is weak
And my flesh too strong
This peace I seek
Till thy kingdom comes

Tell me, Jesus
Are you angry?
One more sheep has
Just gone astray
A hardening of hearts
Turning to stone
Wandering off
So far from home
So many children
Losing time
Walk in darkness
Looking for a sign
Chasing their rainbows
The future looks so bright
Slowly we're losing
Sight of the light

Who cares?
Who cares?
Who cares?
Tell me who cares?
Who cares?

All alone
Out in the cold
Can't look back
Am I growing old
I chose a path
Is this my fate
Am I finding out
The truth too late

Here I am
A naked man
Nothing to hide
With empty hands
Remember me
I am the one
Who lost his way
Your prodigal son

Who cares?
Who cares?
Who cares?
Tell me who cares?
Who cares?

Am I ever gonna change
Will I always stay the same
Say one thing
Then I do the other
Same old song
Goes on forever
Rise, rise 'n shine
A new day is coming
Yes it is!
