about

The never ending mixing process! I am still not happy with this mix and lackluster vocals but this will have to do. Anyway, my wife suffers from lupus. She deals with health problems and pain as frequent as the daily sun cycle. She does not complain, she does not talk about her condition. She just bears the weight of this awful disease. This song is about my experience of watching her suffer and not being able to physically help. If I could, I would take it all from her and bear it upon myself so she could live pain free. This is the basis of this tune. My Mom will be happy I used her mega-size recorder for the bridge and ending.

lyrics

I'm tired of the pain, you live with daily
One without a cure, you didn't deserve this baby
I know I've tried
To take the tears you've cried
Just give me your pain now and

I'll fight the sun
No you'll never break me
I'll fight the sun
No you'll never take me

I'll carry the weight of your world
You know I'll do it baby
I'll be your armored shield
That's what love is lady
I'll be your guide
I'll be by your side
Just take my hand, hold on and

I'll fight the sun
No you'll never break me
I'll fight the sun
No you'll never take me
I'll fight the sun
I'm bloody and I'm burning
I'll fight the sun
Until the earth stops turning

I'll be your guide
I'll be by your side
Just take my hand, hold on and
I'll fight the sun
No you'll never break me
I'll fight the sun
No you'll never take me
I'll fight the sun
To the edge of tomorrow
I'll fight the sun
I'll take away your sorrow

Sun...
