Southern Sun

In all you've seen, what was it that came down on me that night?
 A conjuring; I held on to that moment and lie just to make it alive
 ♪
 I stood out there in the covering
 In the baskings of a holy night
 And I was lucid and conscious
 And hovering like a firefly
 My mind stretched out on the canopy
 It put its arms out slow
 And I heard the whispers of silence
 Floating down from the radio
 So come on, come on, I'm ready now
 I got that feeling, honey, like I'm ready to roll
 ♪
 You see, I'm not gonna wait 'til the end of me
 'Cause I got the burning fire in the bed of my soul
 ♪
 I saw the light from a kettle gun
 16 days under a southern sun
 And there were times when I thought that
 I wouldn't mind it if I lost my mind out there
 You wouldn't believe me if I told you so
 The things I saw, were enough to make the man in me a man of me
 Mm, make a man of me...
 So, come on, come on, I'm ready now
 Go get your things out, honey, let's get ready to roll
 ♪
 Oh, I can feel a wave coming over me
 I've been waiting for this day too long just to let it all go
 ♪
 As a child, I was wonder eyed
 At the thought that I might know
 A life in the ecstasy of rock 'n' roll, oh
 Woah-oh, I'm not taking it slow, oh, oh
 I'm an arrow in a bow, oh, oh
 You think that I don't know, oh, oh
 What it is that makes it glow, oh, oh...
 So come on, come on, I'm ready now
 I got that feeling, honey, like I'm ready to roll
 ♪
 You see, I'm not gonna wait till the end of me
 'Cause I got the burning fire in the bed of my soul
