Follow The Sun - Xavier Rudd

Follow, follow the sun And which way the wind blows When this day is done Breathe, breathe in the air Set your intentions Dream with care Tomorrow's a new day for everyone A brand new moon and a brand new sun So follow, follow the sun The direction of the birds The direction of love And breathe, breathe in the air Cherish this moment Cherish this breath Tomorrow's a new day day for everyone A brand new moon, a brand new sun When you feel life coming down on you like a heavy weight When you feel this crazy society adding to the strain Take a stroll to the nearest water's edge, remember your place Many moons have risen and fallen long, long before you came So which way is the wind blowing What does your heart say? What does your heart say? So follow, follow the sun And which way the wind blows When this day is done

Jag ser solen gå upp över horisonten igen På samma väg i flera dygn, frågan är: Kommer vi hem? Räcker plånboken hela vägen? Eller hoppas vi på tur när vi står vid borden och spelar tärning? Ingen vet Men vad jag vet är att vi gör det ändå För dessa vägar leder till precis vad vi söker ändå Se det framför dig, försök att förstå Motell efter motell, så vi behöver ett lån Men vi åker genom ökenområden ändå Vad lär vi oss av soppatorsk? Så kan det gå Jag menar, den som väntar på nåt gott... Så jag lutar mig mot sätet och njuter utav mitt läge Hur är läget? Det är bra! "The American dream", var det det de sa? Jag ser nånting i skyn som säger: "Ge dig av" Bara några tusen kilometer kvar Ah, tills vi ser en stad Stryper kopp efter kopp och skriver bars där på fikarasten Helt vanlig svenne med mellanmjölk i min Ica-kasse Men känner mig större än så, nu när de spelar mig på radion Känner mig störst i staden och jag rullar ner för gatan med min luva på För jag rullar ner för gatan, mina lurar på Då tappar jag inte tiden och som taget ur en video Då känner jag att rap är vad det lutar åt Så ge mig lite tinnitus, det kommer väl på köpet Efter timmarna på scenen eller studion när vi nöter Så fuck you om du försöker släcka vår låga Vadå för jävla motgångar? Har inte stött på några Ingen aning var vi är eller var igår Frågan jag ställer mig är hur många pris vi tar i år Beter mig som jag finner svaret i botten av kaffekoppen Lägger micken på hyllan den dan jag tappar bort den

One day you'll look To see I've gone For tomorrow may rain So I'll follow the sun Some day you'll know I was the one But tomorrow may rain So I'll follow the sun And now the time has come And so, my love, I must go And though I lose a friend In the end, you will know, oh One day you'll find That I have gone But tomorrow may rain So I'll follow the sun Yeah, tomorrow may rain So I'll follow the sun And now the time has come And so, my love, I must go And though I lose a friend In the end, you will know, oh One day you'll find That I have gone But tomorrow may rain So I'll follow the sun

Streets full of people With trinkets to share Offering them up for folks in despair Yandi and crystals and oils for growth Of spirit and body and mind as we go Emphasis placed on the body and mind The heart os often somewhere behind Strange Tiny little bones of the innocent child Lookin' up at me with the saddest of eyes Is her innocence in tact? Or has it been stained? Has the creature that feeds her taken it away Strange So sad it's strange I recognize my health Things I have been dealt Places that I have roamed Feelings I've had Things that I know Home, my home Home, my home Home, I'm home Running through the bush And all of the trees Moving in time with my capable speed Skippy ants claw At the edge of the bowl Of the shell of an egg Of bird long since gone Maybe it rose up To spread it's new wings Or maybe it nourished A stronger sibling Strange Places we roam And people we meet Some connections are strong And some of them are weak One or two or three or four Or maybe five or six or more Strong as the roots Of a big old gum tree And we'll carry them through To the next life we see Strange So beautifully strange Recognize my health Things that I have been dealt Places that I have roamed Feelings I've had Things that I know Home, my home Home, my home Home, I'm home

And I'll hold you up again And I'll hold you up again Hold you up again And I'll hold you up again I'll hold you up again And I'll hold you up again You fought and you won Now my brother, you're gone You fought and you won Now my brother, you're gone Well, you fought and you won Now my brother, you're gone Well, you fought and you won Now my brother, you're gone I'll hold you up again Yeah, I'll hold you up again You were your country Deadliest, I've seen And I feel you many times When I shut these eyes And I feel you many times When I shut these eyes And I'll hold you up again And I'll hold you up again

Here I am this is my shelter Here I'm at one with these trees And all these birds sing to my rhythms And these waves they comfort me Do what you will while you're able Find what it is that you seek Only I'll fly, fly, fly above the ocean Fly so high above the sea If it's shelter, you're searching for One that I cannot provide Well, I wish you well on your journey I hope your dreams they come alive I hope your dreams back down and they, they thrive Well, I filled my cup with your answers I filled my cup with your lies You topped it up with your mysteries And all those secrets I denied Do what you will while you're able Find what it is that you seek Only I'll fly, fly, fly above the ocean I will fly so high above the sea If It's shelter, you're searching for One that I cannot provide Well, I wish you well on your journey I hope your dreams they come alive I hope your dreams back down and they Well, they thrive I hope your dreams they come alive Well, I hope your dreams back down and thrive Yeah, now

Hey-ey-ey There's the wind that through the souls of my feet into my lungs go Meditation of an ancient kind Exhaling through my third eye Stand strong in what I know Stand aside from the ego As they day turns into night Through the breeze I hear you cry I believe in you. I believe in you. I will pray for you. I will pray for you. (Believe) I believe in you. I will pray for you. I believe in you (I believe in you) I believe in you (I believe in you) I will pray for you (I will pray for you) Your rivers flow with ease Down the serpent's line once streamed In these hands I hold your light Through these hands, Nanna, I'll guide I'll guide You fuel me from the ground Pulled me up when I was down I believe in you I believe in you Stand strong keep the fire burning I'll stick together Gotta keep the wheels turning Forcin' companies to stand aside Forcin' government to recognize the power of this dragon Stand strong keep the fire burning I'll stick together Gotta keep the wheels turning Forcin' companies to stand aside Forcin' government to recognize the power of this dragon Stand strong keep the fire burning I'll stick together Gotta keep the wheels turning Forcin' companies to stand aside Forcin' government to recognize the power of this dragon I stand strong keep the fire burning I'll stick together Gotta keep the wheels turning Forcin' companies to stand aside Forcin' government to recognize the power of this dragon I stand strong keep the fire burning I'll stick together Gotta keep the wheels turning Forcin' companies to stand aside Forcin' government to recognize the power of this dragon My God (stand strong, keep the fire burning) As I go in my (stick together) darkest days (Keep the wheels turnin') Oh your spirit held me tight (forcin' companies to stand aside) Through the (forcin' government to recognize) wreched days and nights (the power of this dragon) I believe in you And mother I will pray, pray for you
