    An attempt at lyric:
    Say you're a dreamer
    have you been sleeping, asking for forgiveness,
    missing all the good things, dreaming...
    Say you've been thinking, painting pages with your demons
    asking for forgiveness, for things often mistaken.
    I wanna be better, oh I wanna be a child of the sun
    one of the burning ones, one of the ones who burn, uh.
    Pray you'll be taken to a place much simpler than this,
    not wrapped up in chaos and loneliness.
    Praying to be awakened...
    Oh I dreamt, enveloped in dreams of
    wilderness and laugh, wilderness and laugh
    wilderness and...
    I wanna be better, oh I wanna be a child of the sun
    one of the burning ones, one of the ones who burn.
    Today I woke up and my womb was empty.
    How can you expect for ness from a black woman
    when all you ever do is take from me
    Oh I dreamt my son alive and when I opened my eyes
    there was nothing there to see, just the concrete
    simply calling me, always calling me home.
    Oh my teeth they grind, my teeth they bleed
    I heard God calling my name but it wasn't me.
    Oh the ones, oh the ones who were burned close to the sun...
    I'm returning home in the eye of the guy.
    I'll I've ever done was pray that I would become a mother
    but they told me dada, dadadadadada stop making this up
    everything you've ever done is just a mop
    have you felt the mud on your skin?
    It was God calling, God calling, God calling me,
    me, home, home.
    I will be better
    I wanna be a child of the sun.

    Who's the guitar player?

  • @TheAkelei
    @TheAkelei 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The drums are very unagreeable while using headphones. I'm afraid, though, the mixtrue big voice with big body never will make it big - see i. e. Alyson Moyet.

      this reflects on you not her nor the music, she's amazing.
