Koonyum Sun

Xavier Rudd Koonyum Sun Lyrics
1.Sky To Ground

I've seen babies begging, scratching round for food to eat
seen a big old tree still standing tall, two thousand years
healthy
I've seen the oldest woman, shaking her head at what went wrong
I drank water from a stream so fresh you couldn't, see the water
at all
at all

I've seen streets so dirty, there is hardly a place to walk
and I've fallen asleep to our bush birds, singing the prettiest
songs
I've seen all of the pain, and all the murder on TV
and I've, stood free on solid waves, mother earths greatest
treat


2.Set Me Free

This place called reno, things unforseen
Built on hopeless foundations of lies and deceit
We stand in this river completely unknown
The sacred Lake Tahoe has truth in it's flow
Ancestors work slowly with things we must see

and I feel it has come, my time for release
Will you set me free
I feel it has come, my time for release
Will you set me free
I know what I know, and I see what I see
Will you set me free
I feel it has come, my time for release
Will you set me free
Let me fly

and I sink down below, the surface is rage
Holding on to a boulder, surrender with grace
and I think of my first-born, these times and his place
and his beauty and wisdom and all gentle ways
Watches over his brother, like the lion he is

and he knows what he knows, and he sees what he sees
Would you set me free
The feel it has come, my time for release
Will you set me free
and I know what I know, and I see what I see
would you set me free
and I feel it has come, my time for release
Will you set me free
Let me fly

Young lazy French kid who ruined our world
With the ways of his father passed through his bones
Was it once was it twice was it nothing at all
It was inside my temple it was inside my home
and I look in this mirror with patience and grief

and I know what I know, and I see what I see
Would you set me free
and I feel it has come, my time for release
Will you set me free
and I know what I know, and I see what I see
Would you set me free
Let me fly
My feel it has come, my time for release
Will you set me free
Let me fly

Gave my heart to you
Gave me soul to you
Gave it all to you
on my knees
Gave my heart to you
Gave me soul to you
Gave it all to you
on my knees

Rising up (set me free), falling down
Rising up, falling down
Rising up (set me free), falling down (let me fly)
I feel it has come, my time for release
Will you set me free


3.Fresh Green Freedom

Verse 1
Can you come to this garden, share with me this beautiful day
listen to the birds sing softly, lay with me and drift away
follow me to the ocean, share with me this beautiful day
listen to the waves break gently, lay with me and drift away

Chorus
Then she moves through the trees with deadly grace and speed
sitting on the branches, and she strokes my emotions
she moves through the trees with deadly grace and speed
whispers through the roof I need to keep on moving on
i'm moving on, moving on, moving on
ya i'm moving on, moving on

Verse 2
Come with me to this garden, share with me this beautiful day
listen to the birds sing softly, lay with me and drift away
follow me to the ocean, share with me this beautiful day
listen to the waves break gently, lay with me and drift away

Chorus

Verse 2

(altered) Chorus x2
Then she moves through the trees with deadly grace and speed
sitting on the branches, and she strokes my emotions
she moves through the trees with deadly grace and speed
whispers through the roof I need to keep on moving on

She moves through the trees with deadly grace and speed


4.The Reasons We Were Blessed

When she came and when she went
it was a great surprise.
Like the stars on the clearest night
she could shine so bright.
Like the signs of a coming tornado
she would pose great threat.
When she came I was not ready,
was not ready when she left.

There are things I would like to remember.
Things I prefer to forget.
I will make my little list
and hope my mind it will accept.
I will would rather place my focus
on the reasons we were blessed.
When she came I was not ready,
was not ready when she left.

When she came and when she went
it was a great surprise.
Like the stars on the clearest night
she could shine so bright.
Like the signs of a coming tornado
she would pose great threat.
When she came I was not ready,
was not ready when she left.

When she came I was not ready,
was not ready when she left.

When she came I was not ready,
was not ready when she left.


5.Love Comes And Goes

Love comes and goes
Sometimes decades sometimes months
Raise you up to the sky
Make you feel like every little thing is bright inside you
Crashing back down
Make you so sick that you want to drown
No other pain, like losing a soul mate

The roads we take in life often seem to be very strong.
Walk them carelessly like were walkin on bricks and stone.
Only when we look behind that we will see the road is cracked,
Oh, there we must move forward, gently as we tread.

Chorus

To carry our guilt sometimes seems the only thing that's easy
Eats away your flesh and bones and all it is you need
My good amigo once said that the truth will set you free
But I guess we have to wait sometimes, wait around and see

Chorus

Now see the sun rising again
Brand new colors, brand new man again
Sweeping up the pieces of the brokenness
Sweeping up the pieces, but the pieces never end.

Chorus

No other pain, like losing a soul mate


6.Soften The Blow

Setting sun to close the new day*
Bring your moon, bring your moon

And if you rise I'll hold the ladder
To help you rise, help you rise

And if you fall, I'll lay myself
To soften the blow, soften the blow

I will hold you once again, I will hold you once again

The winds they blow southeast now
Cool things down cool things down

And if you rise I will hold the ladder
To help you rise, help you rise

The candle burns to the right now
And the wax it melts slowly down


And if you rise I will hold the ladder
To help you rise, help you rise

And if you fall, I will lay myself
To soften the blow, soften the blow

I will hold you once again, I will hold you once again x2

There be my shelter in your arms
Away

8.Time To Smile

Well I'm packing things in my bag today,
Heading south to my country again.
Summer is coming, it's time to smile.

See worry and change it has spun me around,
My big old heart has been ripped right out.
Summer is coming, it's time to smile.

Woah, its time to smile.

Step out of the whirlpool of lies and deceit,
Heading for still waters and pure honesty.
Summer is coming, it's time to smile.

Woah, it's time to smile.
Woah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah oooo
yeah yeah ooooo Woah, it's time to smile.

There's been more rain this year and the country is going strong
And with my feet in the dust I know now I was meant to return
Woah, my young hearts are two thousand miles away,
Must focus my strength,
told them this way.
Summer is coming, it's time to smile.

Time to smile, Time to smile, Time to smile, Time to smile.

See I'm packing things in my bag today,
And I'm, heading south to my country again.
Summer is coming, it's time to smile.

See now worry and change it has spun me around,
My big old heart has been ripped right out.
Summer is coming, it's time to smile.

Said Woah, it's time to smile
Woah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ooooo yeah
yeah ooooo woah it's time to smile.


9.Woman Dreaming

She is everything you need
but she needs to be free(2)
As a color of the earth
baked in the sun anciant and loyal

And you step back cause you dont understand her path and her
sens woming dreaming is very profound

she was everything to you but she had work to do and you have
work to do

woo yoo yo yoo
ya yoo yoo
yoh yooo yaa yaa

she is everything you need
but she want to be free, she needs to be free

rainbows sometimes apear at a time very clear(2)

As the man of many moons before you must now walk alone you must
now walk alone
You must look to the path you mush come take a spear and a flash
of wisdom and knowledge

dont step back cause you dont understand her path a her sens
women dreaming is very profound

she was everything to you but she had work to do and you have
work to do

she was everything you need but she needs to be free and you
need to be free

10.Breeze

You will breeze in, fresh air that you are,
They will inhale you deep into their lungs.
They will exhale you as far as you may go
and you will touch their souls.

Imagine yourself floating away,
imagine the tiniest little pixi people
rubbing lotion into your face
Imagine your feet had never touched the eart
Imagine you are flying above the whole human race
just gliding above it all.

You will breeze in, fresh air that you are,
They will inhale you deep into their lungs.
They will exhale you as far as you may go
and you will touch their souls.

Imagine you were dreaming in a bed
of fresh green leaves
and you awoke to a shining sun
the good people of the world all free.

You will breeze in, fresh air that you are,
They will inhale you deep into their lungs.
They will exhale you as far as you may go
and you will touch their souls.

Now you're leaving home
ya got ya business to do
hollow as an old log and I'm thinking of you
so many times and years
well they seem so much less
we were truly blessed!

You will breeze in, fresh air that you are,
They will inhale you deep into their lungs.
They will exhale you as far as you may go
and you will touch their souls.
