Son of the Sun

[Verse]
Born of a light that could never fade
But the boy was brittle
Frail
Afraid
Laughed at by men
Scorned by kin
A god’s shadow stretched too thin
[Prechorus]
He stumbled
They jeered
Their words sharp as spears
[Chorus]
Son of the sun
You’ll never rise
A clumsy boy with downcast eyes
But fire burns where shadows run
And now they whisper
"He’s the one."
[Verse 2]
He fled to woods where the echoes stay
Branches whispered
“Find your way.”
Through the frost
Through the mire
Forged in hunger
Born in fire
[Prechorus]
The wind taught him steel
The stars turned the wheel
[Chorus]
Son of the sun
You’ll never rise
A clumsy boy with downcast eyes
But fire burns where shadows run
And now they whisper
"He’s the one."
