Sun, Lead Me

I follow the sun,

each day across,

each hour it goes on,

and I go with it

to where it sets.

Time marked as my travel marked,

sun goes down

as I lay my head down,

dreaming of where I shall be

when the sun greets me once again.

I follow the sun,

across to where it goes to bed,

to where the night greets us again.

I follow the sun,

across this country,

to where the sun shall meet the ocean again.

We began together

at an ocean,

we’ll end our journey

at another,

ocean,

and in between

we shall have the days

together…

I follow the sun to where it goes,

it leads me each day

to where my journey goes…

from ocean to ocean

the sun is my guide

leading me on.
