Children of the Sun

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Let me pull your coat, my friend...the game you play you'll never win It's not a game that's played by rules...It's made by men to be played by fools [Refrain] Solitude that's all you'll gain...life is what you lose, my friend You better stop! Take a look around, somebody can see you [Verse 2] You feel that life is speeding by, you laugh to laugh and you end up cryin' All the others that you see, aren't half as real as they could be You hear them sayin' it's all a game, wonder if you're goin' insane [Refrain] You better stop! Take a look around, I'm sure somebody loves you [Chorus] Ah, come with me, take the lead, know your mind There's no time to weep for those you'll have to leave behind Know as the river's run, you are children of the sun Live for love and life alone, there's no time to own anybody [Verse 3] You go along with what you see, still you know you're not free You say, "Of course, I'm just one man. If they can't change it, no one man can." Yet it should be plain to see, they are they, and we are we And hasn't anybody told you, baby, how much we need you? [Chorus] Come away, take the lead, know your mind No time, I wouldn't lie to you, baby, there's just no time You know as the river's run, you are children of the sun Live for love and life alone, there's no time here to own anybody [Verse 4] You think that you can fool 'em all, you say that life's a cherry bomb Everything is alright, and nothin's got ya uptight Yet alone awake at night you're lyin', you think nobody hears you cryin' [Refrain] You better stop! Take a look around, baby, I always hear you [Chorus] Come with me, take the lead, know your mind There's no time to weep for those who'd rather sleep behind Know as the river's run, you are children of the sun Live for love and life alone, there's no time in your mind to own anybody [Verse 5] There will be those who try to put you down, they'll say you don't know your way around They'll tell you that you're not a gas, they'll tell their girlfriends you ain't got no class Do everything that they can do, to try to get you thinking there's something radically wrong with- [Refrain] You better stop! Take a look around, honey, they got all the problems [Chorus] Then come away, take the lead, know your mind There's no time, baby, to weep for those who'd obviously rather sleep behind Know as the river's run, you are children of the sun Live for love and life alone, there's no time to spend bendin' your mind Tryin' to find some way to own anybody
