I have watched you rise
I have watched you set
I have watched you peek and hide
Our days you start
Our nights you end
Our rhythms you control
You colour skies
You light all life
Without you nothing lives
One takes for granted
each new day
the power you embrace
Not I, not me
I always see
and realise
just how much you mean
You cast your rays
upon my skin
add a golden glow
So much on earth is graced by you
without you could not be
For life outdoors
for th'human race
uncomfortable and cold
you lift our spirits
birds and bees
you help and you do grow
from tiny seeds
to mammoth trees
little fares without
the light on us you throw
I for one have gratitude
where others fail to see
the joy you bring
the clouds you chase
the difference you make
Inside my heart
I jump for joy
on seeing you
bright'ning all my days
