lyrics

The fool is on the edge of the cliff
Looking down at paradise.
Everything is just as it seems in the glow
Of the sun that illuminates the path he is on.
And with one white rose, the journey starts for our hero.

Years go by as sweet as pie,
But nothing lasts forever, right?
He swears that he saw a sign just minutes ago
But his road lead him in circles and did him in.
Then the sky grew dim and fog enveloped our hero.

Luck would have me stumble down to the ground,
Down into the darkest shade of a shrub.
I closed my eyes with dismay.
They opened on a sight that took my breath away.

What it was, I couldn’t say...
It hovered right above my chest.
A magnet pulled it gently in through my ribcage.
It settled like a crown on my heart.

Tired from tiptoeing backward and blindfolded,
Waiting on my life to take me by the hand.
My guiding light had burned out, and I’m no Edison.
I held it up to the sky, and saw a glint through the gloom.

And I’m on my path again.
A sunstone!
I let the ray show the way.
Follow the glow.
A sunstone!
I let the ray show the way.
A sunstone!



The fool’s favorite fantasy would battle with reality.
He wanted everything tied in a bow,
But the loose ends led him high but oh so low,
And this rollercoaster wore out our poor hero.

It called out to the Emperor with his ankh
Shut within the walls of old beliefs
And filtered in through the cracks
Filling every corner with a freedom song.
Resonating from within,
One by one division crumbled down.
When finally the sound passed in through his ears,
I could feel his power release.

Doing a delicate dance on the outer rim,
Toeing along the line that pulls me underneath,
Keeping my head up as I wade through this swamp land,
I break out of the lie and pull myself to the truth.

And I’m on my path again.
A sunstone!
I let the ray show the way.
Follow the glow.
A sunstone!
I let the ray show the way.
A sunstone!

The fool kept his stone inside a secret place for safe keeping.
Later when he looked for it, forgot where it was.
