Story Behind The Song
This song was written at the onset of the United States led war on Iraq and I can remember this distinct picture of the sun coming up over the horizon over a large metropolitan city like Las Angelas, and the same sun illuminating the African plains, and the same sun rising over the dead in Iraq... what the sun shines down on in one day, every situation and circumstance, if the sun could speak, what volumes we could all learn.

Lyrics
My crushed tears fall
They blanket your heart
With tenderness found wanting
My hand reaches for, the
Dream in your mind
You fall in love with my love for you...
I cannot understand all of your ways
but I'd be happy to steal a few moments away...
you'd bring up the sun
on endless cloudy days
who could hold back your smile
breaking like the dawn
You know I was the player
Who never played
The one who'd bear their brunt
Now I find... I can rise above
Any storm
When I am near you
I know you feel my sorrow
You can wear my coat
Of pain
I know that you'll find me
When I speak
your name
who could hold back your smile?
who could hold back your love?
