Story behind the song
This a song that I felt compelled to write many years ago and which sadly is still as appropriate today. At the time I was toying with an idea for a musical play production.
Lyrics
Verse 1 Since time began man has fought through fear and for greed And when at war he’s also killed mother natures seed As the bombs explode the earth is scarred by this awful fight And all can see the victors will be the victims of this terrible blight Chorus Sun Rising, shining down on earth Sun Rising, what is life worth? Sun Rising, helping us to grow Perhaps until we die we just won’t know. Verse 2 And when at peace man has ravaged the forests and the seas He’s taken all the fishes and he’s timbered all the trees He’s filled the air with the stench of smog in his rush to succeed And then he’s dumped his waste and left the earth - he’s left the earth to bleed Chorus Instrumental Verse 3 And man is remorseless as he marches to his fate He must soon see the harm he’s done before it is to late How can there be any doubt that some good must be done If we are to prevent the setting of our rising sun Chorus End words in brackets optional Sun Rising, (shining down on earth) Sun Rising (what is life worth?) Sun setting is it now to late? Perhaps .(spoken)
