The Sun and The Son


The Sun carries the fate

Of our future on its back

The Son carries the weight

Of his past in his pack.


The Sun practices beaming

Ready for the summer show

The Son forever dreaming

Of freedom free to grow.


The Sun solemn staring

At a world disintegrating

The Son struggles caring

In a world hell-bent on hating.


The Sun won’t last forever

But will far out last the Son

The Son’s a trifle clever

But he won’t surpass the Sun.


When the thread wears thin

Their weight on your mind
Their weight on your shoulders
Their weight you will find
Bearing down above us

Their pressure’s always present
Their pressure seems benign
Their pressure so unpleasant
When your life is undermined

Their future’s never honest
Their future seems so grey
Their future isn’t promised
When you’re living for today

Our past is there behind us
Our past always matters
Our past always reminds us
When our spirit seems so shattered

That we’ve always got eachother
When the thread is wearing thin
You’re my sister and my brother
And every new start, starts within.
