Sun rising, loud.
Birds find the highest branch to sing,
Squash blossom opening
So wide,
Tender as skin,
Gold as the sun in the sky.
Tender as skin,
Gold as the sun in the sky.
I sing today,
Though I don’t know
If I can stay
So bright.
Sometimes the voices
Telling me to quiet
Get so loud.
Oh let me rise
Like the sun,
Out loud.
