the truth everything under the sun

• (the truth - everything under the sun)
  
  extremein 1992 yılında çıkan "iii sides to every story" albümünün sonunda yer alan birbirine üç şarkıyla bağlı bölümdür.
  
  part 1: rise n shine
  
  muhteşem bir ballad olarak hatırlıyoruz. öyle ki, artık tarihe karışmış bir tarzla beraber orkestrasyon zenginliği söz konusudur. sözlere bakalım:
  
  dawn wakes the silence,
  of a fainted lullaby
  day breaks the eyelid,
  from a song sung in my eye
  
  night rests in peace,
  as the sun mourns the sky
  all's accounted for sheep,
  over a horizon's i
  
  rise, rise 'n shine
  a new day is coming
  rise, rise in time
  for everything under the sun
  
  and when you see,
  a south wind blow
  forecasting, you will know,
  a hot day, will be on the way
  (foolish one)
  you analyze,
  the earth and the sky
  i ask you why,
  you can't analyze the signs,
  of the present time
  
  i had a dream,
  not unlike the one from old
  of a man king,
  whose head was made of gold
  stand castles of sand
  weather the sundials rise 'n fall
  chasing wind through your hands,
  'til water runs dry the well
  
  dream, daniel, dream
  for what's yet to come
  see, daniel, see
  for everything under the sun
  
  and in the west,
  a cloud appears
  for shadows of
  a coming shower near,
  oh, so near
  (hypocrites)
  you analyze,
  the earth and the sky
  i ask you why,
  you can't analyze the signs,
  of the present time
  
  vanity,
  yes, all is vanity
  vanity,
  yes, all's futility
  
  for one that dies,
  another's born
  where laughter's heard,
  comforters mourn
  there's a time for
  everything
  
  a song for love,
  even abhor
  an olive branch,
  or winter's war
  there's a time for
  everything, under the sun
  
  part 2: am i ever gonna change
  
  rise n shinedan hemen sonra bir isyan şeklinde başlar bu şarkı... isyan olduğu için de haykırışı müziğe taşımıştır nuno bettencourt. sözler ise şöyledir:
  
  i'm tired of being me,
  and i don't like what i see,
  i'm not who i appear to be
  so i start off every day,
  down on my knees i will pray,
  for a change in any way
  but as the day goes by,
  i live through another lie,
  if it's any wonder why
  
  am i ever gonna change
  will i always stay the same
  if i say one thing,
  then i do the other
  it's the same old song,
  that goes on forever
  am i ever gonna change
  i'm the only one to blame
  when i think i'm right,
  i wind up wrong
  it's a futile fight,
  gone on too long
  
  please tell me if it's true,
  am i too old to start anew,
  cause that's what i want to do
  but time and time again,
  when i think i can,
  i fall short in the end
  so why do i even try,
  will it matter when i die,
  can anyone hear my cry?
  
  am i ever gonna change
  take it day by day
  my will is weak
  and my flesh too strong
  this peace i seek
  till thy kingdom comes
  
  part 3 : who cares?
  
  burada da "konuyu toplayalım şarkıyı bağlayalım dinleyen de 'naaptınız siz be kardeşim' desin" mantığına sahiplerdir. sözler:
  
  tell me, jesus,
  are you angry?
  one more sheep has,
  just gone astray
  a hardening of hearts,
  turning to stone
  wandering off,
  so far from home
  so many children,
  losing time
  walk in darkness,
  looking for a sign
  chasing their rainbows,
  the future looks so bright
  slowly we're losing,
  sight of the light
  
  who cares?
  who cares?
  who cares?
  tell me who cares?
  who cares?
  
  all alone,
  out in the cold
  can't look back,
  am i growing old
  i chose a path,
  is this my fate
  am i finding out,
  the truth too late
  
  chorus
  
  here i am,
  a naked man
  nothing to hide
  with empty hands
  remember me,
  i am the one
  who lost his way,
  your prodigal son
  
  who cares?
  who cares?
  who cares?
  tell me who cares?
  who cares?
  
  am i ever gonna change
  will i always stay the same
  say one thing
  then i do the other
  same old song
  goes on forever
  rise, rise 'n shine
  a new day is coming
  yes it is!
