[Verse]
Bm
We are ancients
   C#m
As ancient as the sun
   B
We came from the ocean
B
Once our ancestral home
Bm
So that one day
C#m
We could all return
B
To our birthright
B
The great celestial dome

[Chorus]
B
We are the children of the sun
B
Our journey's just begun
B
Sunflowers in our hair
B
We are the children of the sun
B
There is room for everyone
B
Sunflowers in our hair

[Bridge]
B Bm

[Verse]
Bm
Throughout the ages
C#m
Of iron, bronze, and stone
B
We marveled at the night sky
B
And what may lie beyond
Bm
We burned offerings
C#m
To the elemental ones
B
Made sacrifices
B
For beauty, peace and love

[Chorus]
B
We are the children of the sun
B
Our kingdom will come
B
Sunflowers in our hair
B
We are the children of the sun
B
Our carnival's begun
B
Our suns will fill the air

[Bridge]
D E Bm

D       E         Bm
And you know it's time
D                   E
To look for reasons why
                            D
Just reach up and touch the sky
                     E
To the heavens we'll ascend

[Chorus]
B
We are the children of the sun
    E           B
Our journey has begun

B

B
All the older children
B
Come out at night
B
Anemic, soulless
B
Great hunger in their eyes
B
Unaware of the beauty
     Bm     B
That sleeps tonight
B
And all the queen's horses
            E      B
And all the king's men
B
Will never put these children back
B
Together again

[Outro]

B     D                    Bm
Faith, hope, our charities
       D     E             Bm
Greed, sloth, our enemies
B
We are the children of the sun
B
We are the children of the sun
B
