RIGHT THERE IN THE SUN

RIGHT THERE IN THE SUN

WRITTEN BY JEFF R HILTON  2020

WE CLIMBED EVERY MOUNTAIN

THAT WE COULD SEE

WE CROSSED THE OCEANS

AT THE MERCY OF THE WINDS

WE PLOWED THE FIELDS

AND WITH SEED ALL SOWN

WE PRAYED FOR RAIN

WE THANKED HIM FOR A HOME

WE STOOD IN GREEN MEADOWS

SURROUNDED BY TREES 

BREATHING IN THE HEAVENS 

CARRIED ON THE BREEZE

OUR EYES GREW MISTY

RIGHT THERE IN THE SUN

A DISTANT MEMORY GOES BY

AND THEN ITS GONE

WHERE THE RIVER MEETS THE SEA

THE TIDE RISES AND FALLS

ON THE BREATH OF A NEW MOON

STARLIGHT FELL AROUND US

SHINING DOWN

SUBLIME IN NATURE

THIS PLACE WE FOUND

THE UNSPOILED GROUND

SEEN BY OUR EYES

WAITING THERE

A DIAMOND IN DISGUISE

WE NEVER KNEW THE REASONS

FOR THE FEELINGS

THAT WELLED UP FROM INSIDE 

THE CAUSE OF MUCH CONFUSION

LEFT SO MUCH TO DECIDE

OPENED UP FOR ALL TO SEE

OR SOMETHING WE SHOULD HIDE

THERE'S A THOUSAND ANSWERS

BUT JUST ONE IS RIGHT

TONIGHT I WISH I MAY

I WISH I MIGHT STAY HERE

JUST HOLD ON TIGHT

A NEW DAY COMES

THE SAME OLD LIGHT

ABSENT, OR SHINING BRIGHT

WE NEVER KNOW AT ALL

IF TOMORROWS 

A PROMISE WE CAN KEEP
