Trip Around the Sun - Stephen Bruton

Here I'm singin' happy birthday Better think about the the wish I make This year gone by ain't been a piece of cake Everyday's a revolution, pull it together and it comes undone Just one more candle and a trip around the sun I'm just hangin' on while this old world keeps spinnin' And it's good to know it's out of my control If there's one thing that I've learned from all this livin' Is that it wouldn't change a thing if I let go No, you never see it comin' Always wind up wonderin' where it went Only time will tell if it was time well spent It's another revelation Celebrating what I should have done With these souvenirs of my trip around the sun I'm just hangin' on while this old world keeps spinnin' And it's good to know it's out of my control If there's one thing that I've learned from all this livin' Is that it wouldn't change a thing if I let go Yes, I'll make a resolution That I'll never make another one Just enjoy this ride on my trip around the sun Just enjoy this ride - till it's done

I want the sun to shine on me I want the truth to set me free I wish the followers would lead With a voice so strong it could knock me to my knees Hold on world 'cause you don't know what's coming Hold on world 'cause I'm not jumping off Hold onto this boy a little longer Take another trip around the sun If I jumped into the ocean to believe If I climbed a mountain would I have to reach? Do I even dare to speak?--to dream?--believe? Give me a voice so strong I can question what I have seen Hold on world 'cause you don't know what's coming Hold on world 'cause I'm not jumping off Hold onto this boy a little longer Take another trip around the sun Around the sun Around the sun Around the sun Let my dreams set me free. Believe. believe. Now now now now now now

Another year around the sun Guess I've just been having fun Just another year around the sun Making it through Laying back at the end of the day Got nobody to tell, I'm okay Forgot the rules of the games we play, but that's fine People say that I lost my mind I've got nothing to lose, and nothing to find They might say I'm the losing kind but that's fine Another year around the sun Guess I've just been having fun Just another year around the sun Making it through Another year around the sun Guess I've just been having fun Just another year around the sun Making it through Make it, make it, make it through Make it, make it, make it through Make it, make it, make it through Another year around the sun Guess I've just been having fun Just another year around the sun Making it through Another year around the sun Guess I've just been having fun Just another year around the sun Making it through Oh yeah we'll make it through Oh yeah we'll make it through Oh yeah we'll make it through Oh yeah we'll make it through Yeah we'll make it through

Don't tell me that you love me I won't tell you that I love you We're too high to see the wrong way Too far to know the right way, oh no The truth is I'm freaking out about this whole Man I'm supposed to be I'm nervous now cause she can't know I'm desperately in need 'Cause up here's hard to reach Fly down, fly down We were staring down the valley When she put here arm a-round me She said the reason you've been hurt is So you look beyond the surface The truth is I'm freaking out about this whole Man I'm supposed to be I'm nervous now cause she can't know I'm desperately in need 'Cause up here is hard to reach Fly down, fly down Fly down Don't tell me that you love me I won't tell you that I love you

I'm calling this the love crusade The truth is like a black bouquet Money's got us all enslaved The bullets and the bombs we make, oh, no It doesn't have to be this way But I promise it'll stay this way If you would rather hear me say That everything is all okay I don't care for your drugs, I don't care for your fame Do you care for the truth if you're not entertained? I can see through your eyes, I can see through your pain And you're scared to admit, you feel out of place Can you hear that, darling? A revolution's calling No child of ours should have to starve Should have to die for us Can you feel that, darling? The monster's marching This is it, this invitation is For the ones who love Sincerely I'm telling you, the world looks perfect from a plane A couple miles up and we all look the same One love tryna show us the way One love that is trying to change And if we connect with that, then we should be enraged These fat cats want us lost in the maze And they're scared 'cause we're breaking the chain They're scared 'cause we're 'bout to escape Can you hear that, darling? A revolution's calling No child of ours should have to starve Should have to die for us Can you feel that, darling? The monster's marching This is it, this invitation is For the ones who love Sincerely There's a billion people That could use a hero Come together, we're the tether Of this love that's spinning 'round We could be that miracle Can you hear that, darling? A revolution's calling No child of ours should have to starve Should have to die for us Can you feel that, darling? The monster's marching This is it, this invitation is For the ones who love Sincerely
