Road to the Sun

Road to the sun, rooftops glowing Burning red beneath the morning sky I'd been on my own and lonely I had given in to bitter sighs Show me lands I've never known Give me a place to lay my head Treat me as if I were your own Seat me at your table and break bread Oh, why would I be so bold? Bolder than the colors of the earth Oh, why would I be so bold? Bold to hope for more than I deserve Beat on toward the turquoise waters Like a diamond stretched across the earth Bring along your sons and your daughters Load the ship, fill every single berth Road to the sun, take me traveling Set your invitation before me One more night alone, I'd be unraveling But you saw a sojourner in need Oh, why would I be so bold? Bolder than the colors of the earth Oh, why would I be so bold? Bold to hope for more than I deserve Oh, why would I be so bold? Can't you see me tugging on your robe? Hoping that a stranger on the road Would look upon a sojourner in need And take him to behold the turquoise sea
