[Intro: French horns, clean guitar, rolling floor toms] [Chorus] Beneath two suns, I drew a silver sky, With wire for wings and dust against my eyes. One sun said stay, one promised I could run, A divided road beneath two suns. No crown, no blade, no shadow on my name, Only a child leaning toward the flame. [Verse 1] I sorted copper teeth and carbon rings, Then built a craft from broken things. My mother tied pale cloth across the door To keep the desert from the kitchen floor. She said, "Your hands can mend what others lose." I heard the engines and began to choose. [Pre-Chorus] Three falling notes moved somewhere through the air, A distant call from worlds beyond repair. The western sun sank red behind the shed; The eastern burned like promise overhead. [Chorus] Beneath two suns, I drew a silver sky, With wire for wings and dust against my eyes. One sun said stay, one promised I could run, A divided road beneath two suns. No crown, no blade, no shadow on my name, Only a child leaning toward the flame. [Verse 2] A stranger crossed the yard in robes of white, His quiet gaze more searching than the light. He watched me catch a falling metal wheel, As if my hands revealed what words conceal. He said the world might turn beneath my hand, Then knelt beside me in the sand. [Pre-Chorus] My mother smiled, but sorrow held her face. One closing door made hollow all the place. I took her cloth, the emblem he had brought, And stepped aboard before I knew the cost. [Instrumental Break: Lead guitar against descending horns] [Bridge] Was I discovered, or was I removed? Was I delivered, or merely approved? A child counts every wonder he may gain, Not every door that will not open again. [Verse 3] The engines lifted; gold dissolved to gray. Both suns became two sparks, then fell away. I pressed the pale cloth flat against the glass And watched my first life narrow to the past. Three notes pursued us through the starless blue, Soft as a vow I never understood. [Final Chorus] Beneath two suns, my first horizon burned, The road began before the wheel had turned. One sun was home, one was the life to come; I chose the distance, certain I could run. No crown, no mask, no blood upon my name, Only a child moving toward the flame. [Outro: Three horn notes fading into engine noise]
