Gerry Rafferty - Children of the Sun lyrics

We are not one

We are legion, we are many

A seed is sown in everyone (seed is sown in everyone)

A silent prayer that was given in compassion

We are the children of the sun

Oh sun sun, oh sun sun sun

We are the children of the sun

Oh sun sun, oh sun sun sun

Well, we were lost and alone in a desert so dry

Without a trace of water

So we prayed for the rain and we looked to the sky

But not a trace of water

Crying in the wilderness underneath the sun

The rainmaker came to wake up everyone

Sleeping, since time has begun

Crying out for water, water

Oh spirit of the world

Crying out for water

Oh spirit of the world

Crying out for water

Oh spirit of the world

Cries to someone

Cries to someone

Oh spirit of the world

Crying out for water (water, water, water)

[Fade]

We are not one

We are legion, we are many (crying out for water)

We are the children of the sun

Oh sun sun, oh sun sun sun
