Shining as Bright as the Sun

The weather was growing colder
 And the window was growing thin
 But in the fire of his mind, in every corner
 He heard the record spin
 But he was not like any soldier
 He was soft and full of doubt
 But every perfect pill would make him stronger
 And the flames would flicker out
 He's shining as bright as the sun
 He's warming up the moment before it comes
 He's pulling up a chair for everyone alive
 So they can watch him arrive
 Magic glistened on the treetops
 While the moon was wearing his crown
 His sounds floated up and down until they stopped
 For those who gathered round
 But all the eyes that stood adoring
 Fit loosely in one hand
 So all the magic turned to dust, turned into longing
 That blew across the land
 He's shining as bright as the sun
 He's warming up the moment before it comes
 He's pulling up a chair for everyone alive
 So they can watch him arrive
 He couldn't write so long with only one light on
 He couldn't reach so far with just one arm
 And it's one very hard run when only
 One leg performs
 But he's been shining so bright
 Shining as bright as the sun
 The weather was growing colder
 And the window was growing thin
 But in the fire of his mind, in every corner
 He heard the record spin
 He's shining as bright as the sun
 He's warming up the moment before it comes
 He's pulling up a chair for everyone alive
 So they can watch him arrive
 So they can watch him arrive
