Shadow On the Sun

Stars shoot across the Hollywood sky
Breaking into pieces before our very eyes
Suits building castles all for themselves
They are hypnotized by the shine of power and wealth
They think their names are carved in stone
When they're written in the sand

In the end when the day is done
Only love can cast a shadow on the sun
When the fireworks fade and the colors run
Only love can leave a shadow on the sun

Fools clutching at the mist of their youth
In a losing battle with vanity's pursuit
Flash, the headlines scream a new name
Another scandal and fifteen minutes fame
They make their mark in neon lights
And soon the power goes out

In the end when the day is done
Only love can cast a shadow on the sun
When the fireworks fade and the colors run
Only love can leave a shadow on the sun

There is blazing beauty in the smallest sacrifice
And a simple word of kindness is true light

In the end when the day is done
Only love can cast a shadow on the sun
When the fireworks fade and the colors run
Only love can leave a shadow on the sun, yeah
Only love can leave a shadow on the sun
