Lyrics

The Sun Never Says

Even after all this time, the sun never says to the earth: “You owe me!”, “You owe me!”
Look what you can do with a love like that… It lights up the whole sky – hi hi- hi hi – hi hiiii

Chorus -

I give to you and you give to me, it raises us up and allows us to see
When I give to you and you give too, then it frees me
―I can see me and you.

Even after all this time, the river never says to the sea,
“You owe me!”, “You owe me!”
Look what you can do with a love like that…
It covers the whole earth with life- hi hi- hi hi- hi hiii Chorus

Bridge: When I give then I get so much more than I give
when I give then I get so much more. (4x)

Look what you can do with a love like this . .
it covers the whole sky with bliss Hi hi- hi hi- hi hiiii
Chorus + And it frees me, I can see me and you.
Even after all this time…
