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
