Musicians of the sun, here we come! Lord of the night sent the wind to the sun, so bright, where the music lives. Across the sea, that was his wish, with turtle, alligator and fish. Sun is a mighty warrior, can the wind blow across the sea? Earth is not dancing, earth is sad. Free the musicians and earth is glad.
