Lyrics for Ode to the Sun

I heard the news that day / That she had fallen down / And I could not believe the word / So I sat without a sound

So I looked up at the sky / And I said she’s in the sun / I can feel her looking down / Looking down on everyone

And this is an ode to the sun / And this is an ode to the moon / ‘Cause when I see the light / I can feel you shining through

And you came in my dreams / ‘Cause you’d left someone behind / And you had something to say / And it was there for me to find

So I looked up at the moon / And I painted a picture of you / And then I gave it away / That’s how she spoke to you

And this is an ode to the sun / And this is an ode to the moon / ‘Cause when I see the light / I can feel you shining through / Shining through / Shining through

Let Me Rise was recorded in Quito, Ecuador over the course of 6 months. Most of these songs were written while Vanessa was living in South America and feature the musical stylings of artists from several different countries. Driven by Vanessa's distinctive arrhythmic guitar picking and unique voice, this is an album that has stories to tell.
