As if I were the sun

Verse

I was a young man

Held a tiger by the tail;

Thought I’d change the world

Never thought I would fail.

I was a young man

With a foolish sense of pride,

thought I had it made,

wasn’t ready for life.

Chorus

I thought life revolved around me

As if I were the sun.

When it came to taking credit

I thought of number one.

I thought life revolved around me

As if I were the sun.

As if I were the sun.

As if I were the sun.

Verse

I was a young man

Saw a rainbow up ahead

Sought a pot of gold

found misery instead.

I was a young man

With a taste for finer things

Learned life the hard way

What being selfish brings.

Chorus

I thought life revolved around me

As if I were the sun.

When it came to taking credit

I thought of number one.

As if I were the sun.

As if I were the sun

As if I were the sun.

Bridge

Learned friendship was the gold I sought

Found giving brought me love

Found happiness comes far before

Thinking of number one.

Tag

As if I were the sun.

As if I were the sun.

As if I were the sun.
