The Sun Unseen Brings Hope To All

Though we look out about yonder
in the sky, there is no sunshine
but what's not visible is still there
reveals its effect so we can dine

There is such heat to experience
so much is there for surely everyone
if people would just believe this is so
to receive such heat then its done

Everyone is so visibly transfixed
thinks if not seen it cannot be
but these sun effects can be so felt
even when not seen, still you are free

The whole day is completely done
but looking back you feel real hope
on the horizon one senses truth
there you cling to that sure rope

Learn to never ever give up hope
tomorrow could be your expected day
remember that invisible sun up there
by faith look on to find your way



The verse from  'The Invisible Sun'
("There has to be an invisible sun
It gives its heat to everyone
There has to be an invisible sun
That gives us hope when the whole day's done.")

- Gordon Sumner (Sting - The Police)

There is an invisible power within us giving us light and warmth. If we believe it, we will surely experience it. Great exhortation, dear Gordon.

So true, if we lose sight of the invisible sun, then our hope is surely gone. Great message Gordon.
