Children of the Sun
Songwriters: Lisa Germain Gerrard / Brendan Perry
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 marveled 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 songs 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
Search for the Hero
Songwriters: Mike Pickering / Paul Heard
Sometimes the river flows but nothing breathes
A train arrives but never leaves, it's a shame
Oh, life like love that's walked out of the door
Of being rich or being poor, such a shame
But it's then, then that faith arrives
To make your feelings alive
And that's why, you should keep on aiming high
Just seek yourself and you will shine
You've got to search for the hero inside yourself
Search for the secrets you hide
Search for the hero inside yourself
Until you find the key to your life
In this life, long and hard though it may seem
Live it as you'd live a dream, aim so high
Just keep the flame of truth burning bright
The missing treasure you must find
Mmm-mmm-mmm
Because you and only you alone
Can build a bridge across the stream
Weave your spell in life's rich tapestry
Your passport to a feeling supreme
You've got to search for the hero inside yourself
Search for the secrets you hide
Search for the hero inside yourself
Until you find the key to your life
You've got to search, inside yourself
Deep, deep down inside yourself, yeah
You've got to search, inside yourself
You've got to search for the hero inside yourself (ooh)
Search for the secrets you hide
Search for the hero inside yourself
Until you find the key to your life
Search for the hero inside yourself (oh yeah)
Search for the secrets you hide (all of the secrets you hide)
Search for the hero inside yourself (you'll find a hero)
Until you find the key to your life
You've got to search inside yourself
You've got to search
