Last Day Under the Sun Lyrics
I'm in the lion's cave
I've done it all before
I feel alive again
But maybe not for long
Another day will come
Full of light and desire
Is your life okay?
Is it who you are?
Are you right on track
Or has it gone too far?
Well, only you will know
Don't let the blues get you down
I'll be alone in the end
I'll be alone and blue, oh
Well, it's the last day under
Last day under the
Last day under
Last day under the
Last day under, under the sun
Yeah, it's the last day under, under the sun
Nobody really knows
How many years went by
The lion left its home and now he's good and fine
Another day will come, full of light and desire
I'll be alone in the end
I'll be alone and blue, oh
Well, it's the last day under
Last day under the
Last day under
Last day under the
Last day…
I've done it all before
I feel alive again
But maybe not for long
Another day will come
Full of light and desire
Is it who you are?
Are you right on track
Or has it gone too far?
Well, only you will know
Don't let the blues get you down
I'll be alone and blue, oh
Last day under the
Last day under
Last day under the
Last day under, under the sun
Yeah, it's the last day under, under the sun
How many years went by
The lion left its home and now he's good and fine
Another day will come, full of light and desire
I'll be alone and blue, oh
Last day under the
Last day under
Last day under the
Last day…

The song is about having another opportunity at life after struggling with addiction issues.
According to Michael Poulsen, the lyrics were inspired by a Johnny Cash biography. Michael Poulsen said, "When I read his book, he went through tough times with alcohol and drugs. He walked into a cave to lay down to die. But he wakes up and feels like he has been given a second chance." After Johnny Cash woke up in Tennessee's Nickajack Cave in 1967, he had a spiritual epiphany. The Man in Black changed his life and recommitted himself to the Christian faith. Poulsen explained what had drawn him to Cash's turnaround. "I could totally use that, because I think we as human beings struggle with different things in our lives - be it drugs or alcohol or a loss of a family member - where we dig ourselves into that dark place and don't know how to get out again. I've been there with alcohol and mourning the loss of my father. If it wasn't for a strong mind and some really good friends, I don't know where I'd be. But I found a way out of that dark place, and now I'm enjoying life. So 'Last Day Under the Sun' is a song about hope and forgiveness and the way to come out on the other side, where there is light."
No clue what this about. If I go by the video its about some old dud running over a kid. I know it rocks and I love to listen to it.
