The Father, The Sun lyrics
by Mariah Carey
[Chorus]
This is our moment, ain't no holding us back, time to own it, yeah
Shining bright like the morning, it won't be long 'til the glory is coming, yeah
Come up and rise, I can feel the fire burning up inside
You know I am the one, the father and the son
[Verse 1]
Look me in my eyes so you watching
Took him by surprise with no warning
It's God's doing, no one planned it
You must understand that your torch, you can hand it off
'Cause I been seeing out your window
Looking at my face like the mirror
Bridging up the clouds just to make a way
Passing through the storms from the rainy day
[Pre-Chorus]
The sun used to be far away
But now it's right here even though it's in the distance
So you move the earth with your hands
Now I know it's getting hard, I'm first to assist ya
And when you're old and grey
Remember, I'll take care of ya
It is of a virtue, I do what I have to
We gotta let nature take its place
[Chorus]
This is our moment, ain't no holding us back, time to own it, yeah
Shining bright like the morning, it won't be long 'til the glory is coming, yeah
Come up and rise, I can feel the fire burning up inside
You know I am the one, the father and the son
Yeah, yeah, yeah, father and the son
Yeah, yeah, yeah, father and the son
[Verse 2]
Got a lot of pride I inherit
Written in the stars, couple light years out
Orbiting around like a martian
There's nothing to stop us, together we rock it off
Fire in the sky and we made it
World up in our hand 'cause you saved it
So you be the potter and I'm the clay
No, I couldn't fit your shoes, not in any way
[Pre-Chorus]
The sun used to be far away
But now it's right here even though it's in the distance
So you move the earth with your hands
Now I know it's getting hard, I'm first to assist ya
And when you're old and grey
Remember, I'll take care of ya
It is of a virtue, I do what I have to
We gotta let nature take its place
[Chorus]
This is our moment, ain't no holding us back, time to own it, yeah
Shining bright like the morning, it won't be long 'til the glory is coming, yeah
Come up and rise, I can feel the fire burning up inside
You know I am the one, the father and the son
Yeah, yeah, yeah, father and the son
Yeah, yeah, yeah, father and the son
