The Same Sun - Sharon Corr

Mountains fade in the failing light

An African vanilla sky

The evening sun is leading toward the dawn

A dirt road with no sympathy

Is breaking ground in front of me

To question everything I’ve ever known

The shepherd boy who smiles at me

Beneath the lone acacia tree

He shades below

A distant world

A dream away

But this moment that we’re in today

It’s all we know

So I go home

Where I belong

My journey is done

But thinking about how yours

Has only now

Just begun

Underneath the same sun

Underneath the same sun

With smiles of joy

You colour me

Your movement like a symphony

You captured me and then you let me go
