Song for the Dying Sun

from She Walks the Stars by Mama Gina

about

Commissioned by Shinto monks who have been observing and honoring a dying star for millenia, Ava sings the truth of light and its unconditional nature, before they must abandon that solar system as life becomes untenable.

lyrics

Song for the Dying Sun
(c) 2019 G. LaMonte

I speak for the sun
Her dying light
Travels a million years
Through the night
Touches my eye
A spark in the gloom
In this moment of grace
I am the moon

I am barren and broken
And I sing her light
She'll dance on each facet
And fault in my life
Sometimes I forget
I don't shine on my own
In this sacred embrace
I am not alone

So, I sing the sun
I sing the light
Ever remember and carry your ember
On through the night
I sing your rise
And I sing the fade
Every bit of you that lives forever
Until the end of all day
I sing the sun
I sing the sun
I sing the light

Bright through my skin
To the bones lie within
You expose me for
All that I am
I run for the shade
You reach for my hand
I can't live without love
And you love me
Like nothing else can
I can't live without love
And you love me
Like nothing else can

So, I sing the sun
I sing the light
Ever remember and carry your ember
On through the night
I sing your rise
And I sing the fade
Every bit of you that lives forever
Until the end of all day
I sing the sun
I sing the sun
I sing the light
