Children of the Sun

A happy song about those long carefree summer day when school was out. My lyrics performed by Amigos Imaginarios:

Children of the Sun

An old song playin’ on the radio
Reminded me of all those years ago
When summer’d come and school was done
We’d be runnin’ around and havin’ fun

We’d be splashing down at the swimmin’ hole
Or by the river with a fishin’ pole
Climbing trees and stealing apples
In the backyard building castles

On those long bright days when summer’d come
And school was out, the learnin’ done
We were free to run and just have fun
We were children of the sun
Yeh, children of the sun

I’m grown-up now with a boy of my own
I can’t believe how the time has flown
But I’ll never forget those days in the sun
Just running around and having fun

On those long bright days when summer’d come
And school was out, the learnin’ done
We were free to run and just have fun
We were children of the sun
Yeh, we were children of the sun
