Words & Music by Ala Ghawas 

There were times when I heard you weeping

You came to be embraced and I pretended I was sleeping

I haven’t realized that my presence could pull you through

From the unkind things that the world has said to you

Life threw dirt on me while your light lingered

And you were there with me by the flood of love’s hunger

But I was too troubled to see how beautiful you grew

Daughter of the sun, help me get over you

Baby, baby stay

I want to tell you I love you again

Baby, baby stay

I want to send your pain down the drain

Baby, baby stay

I want to play with you in the rain

Like the two children we used to be

My head was always filled up with the stupid dreams I drew

My heart was always suffering from my failures and the things I couldn’t do

And I haven’t realized how far you flew, from me

Daughter of the sun, forgive me
