Lyrics

Follow, follow the sun
and which way the wind blows
when this day is done.

Breathe, breathe in the air.
Set your intentions.
Dream with care.

Tomorrow is a new day for everyone,
Brand new moon, brand new sun.
So follow, follow the sun,
the direction of the bird,
the direction of love.

Breathe, breathe in the air,
cherish this moment,
cherish this breath.

Tomorrow is a new day for everyone,
brand new moon, brand new sun.
When you feel life coming down on you,
like a heavy weight.

When you feel this crazy society,
adding to the strain.
Take a stroll to the nearest waters edge
remember your place.

Many moons have risen and fallen long, long before you came.
So which way is the wind blowin’,
and what does your heart say?

So follow, follow the sun,
and which way the wind blows
when this day is done…
