"Wait for the Sun to Be Born" lyrics and music by Benjamin Newman / Am C D Am / - C D E / / Am G Am - / Dark and cold, dark and cold, The Sun he has perished as ever of old, And here in the darkness that never knows morn, We wait for the Sun to be born. For the wheel still turns, and the stars still burn, And new life arises from old, we have learned, So we gather the ashes of Suns gone before, And wait for the Sun to be born. We studied the stars and we followed the signs, That called us to come to this place at this time, Where forces converge in a spiraling storm, And we wait for the Sun to be born. The Sun that we know has grown feeble and died, Now our people must sleep while we travelers ride, To greet and to thank and to praise and adore The Sun that at last has been born. / " / " / Am G C D - / Am C D E / Am G Am - / For we are an ancient and long-living race, And Suns burn out and die while we live by their grace, But just get enough hydrogen all in one place... Then the cold empty darkness ignites and grows warm, In the light of the Sun that is born.
