Notwithstanding Lyrics - 1996

[ Buy Notwithstanding ]

The sun goes down
The lights go out
You go to sleep
And dream about
What you want to be
When you're grown

Every day
They steal your prayers
You keep your secret
Hidden from them far away
And you never share
What you know

Dream what you are
You sunflower
Be what you are
You sunflower

Your father said
It's in your head
He knew someone
Who knew someone
Who wound up dead
We all wind up dead
We all wind up dead
And you know
The shadows start
To steal your heart
They get inside
And piece by piece
They tear apart
Your very soul
And your very art
And you know

So turn and face the sun again
Dream what you are
You sunflower
Rise up and face the sun again
Be what you are
You sun flower

We always run
Towards the sun
You lead us on
And cut us down you cannot run
From the damage done
And there's damage done
And you know

We'll turn and face the sun again
Dream what you are
You sunflower
Rise up and face the sun again
Be what you are
You sunflower
So turn and face the sun again
Dream what you are
You sunflower
Rise up and face the sun again
Be what you are
You sunflower

The sun goes down
The lights go out
