Touched By The Sun

(Carly Simon) If you want to be brave And reach for the top of the sky And the farthest point on the horizon Do you know who you'll meet there Great soldiers and seafarers Artists and dreamers Who need to be close, close to the light They need to be in danger of burning by fire And I, I want to get there I, I want to be one One who is touched by the sun One who is touched by the sun Often I want to walk The safe side of the street And lull myself to sleep And dull my pain But deep down inside I know I've got to learn from the greats Earn my right to be living Let my wings of desire Soar over the night I need to let them say "She must have been mad" And I, I want to get there I, I want to be one One who is touched by the sun One who is touched by the sun I've got to learn from the greats Earn my right to be living With every breath that I take Every heartbeat And I, I want to get there I, I want to be one, One who is touched by the sun One who is touched by the sun
