The sun goes down, the lights go out
You go to sleep and dream about
What you wanna be when you're grownEvery day they steal your prayers
You keep your secret hidden from them far away
And you never share what you knowDream what you are, you sunflower
Be what you are, sunflowerYour father said it's in your head
He knew someone who knew someone
Who wound up dead, we all wind up dead
We all wind up dead and you knowThe shadows start to steal your heart
They get inside and piece by piece
They tear apart your very soul
And your very art and you knowSo turn and face the sun again
Dream what you are, you sunflower
Rise up and face the sun again
Be what you are, you sun flowerWe always run towards the sun
You lead us on and cut us down, you cannot run
From the damage done and there's damage done
And you knowWe'll turn and face the sun again
Dream what you are, you sunflower
Rise up and face the sun again
Be what you are, you sunflowerSo turn and face the sun again
Dream what you are you sunflower
Rise up and face the sun again
Be what you are, you sunflowerThe sun goes down, the lights go out
