lyrics

Hungry For The Sun

Chorus: I’m hungry for the sun to shine on me
I’m gonna soak it up and grow into a tall oak tree
I’ll put down roots and grow real strong
So let it shine on down. I’m hungry for the sun

When I was just a sapling on the forest floor
I dreamed of being huge like my relatives before
My grandma was the tallest. She had a million leaves
She said you’ve got to eat your sun if you want to grow like me

Well at first I stole the rays falling through the canopy
Sun flecks here and there, they’re as tasty as can be
I mixed them with some water and a little CO2
And oh my my how my branches grew

Well I shot up like an arrow passing all the other trees
Now I’m the biggest one around, I’ve got two hundred rings
The understory trees ask me how I got so tall
Well you gotta eat your sun if you want to grow at all
