We are ancients
As ancient as the sun
We came from the ocean

Once our ancestral home
So that one day
We could all return

To our birthright
The great celestial dome


We are the children of the sun
Our journey's just begun
Sunflowers in our hair

We are the children of the sun
There is room for everyone
Sunflowers in our hair


Throughout the ages
Of iron, bronze, and stone

We marvelled at the night sky
And what may lie beyond
We burned offerings

To the elemental ones
Made sacrifices
For beauty, peace and love


We are the children of the sun
Our kingdom will come

Sunflowers in our hair
We are the children of the sun
Our carnival's begun

Our suns will fill the air

And you know it's time

To look for reasons why
Just reach up and touch the sky
To the heavens we'll ascend

We are the children of the sun
Our journey has begun


All the older children
Come out at night
Anaemic, soulless

Great hunger in their eyes
Unaware of the beauty
That sleeps tonight


And all the queen's horses
And all the king's men

Will never put these children back
Together again


Faith, hope, our charities
Greed, sloth, our enemies


We are the children of the sun
We are the children of the sun
