I've often wondered why there aren't more sun worshippers. It seems like a pretty obvious thing to build a religion around.
It's visible to the human eye, but you can't touch it - or stare at it. You can actually feel the warmth of it. It lights the planet and makes things grow. It's an unbelievably powerful force, in the sky everyday - without fail, and without it we would all die.
Astronomers say our sun is a pretty ordinary star. It is about half way through its life cycle and has about 5 billion years to go. Some say it's not big enough to nova or implode. That it will become a red giant and then a white dwarf. After that?
Here's a song I wrote called "C'mon Mr. Sun":
C'mon Mr. Sun.
Life's gotten to the point where it's no fun.
Kicked out of Eden in disgrace.
I'm embracing my photo-synthetic faith.
C'mon Mr. Sun.
Take the old cosmology and flip it over.
And maybe, just for fun
I could have the keys to your Super Nova.
I just wanna communicate with god.
I can't get through to him, so you're all I've got. (x2)
The power.
The glory.
You know the story. (x2)
C'mon Mr. Sun.
Just burn a hole through the planet and be done with it.
Tell Sister Moon
I wanna take her on a Venus Loon.
I just wanna communicate with god.
I can't get through to him, so you're all I've got. (x2)
The power.
The glory.
You know the story. (x4)
