Locked away for twenty years
Might as well have disappeared
No one cared about my fears
All I had were silent tears
 
It turned me from soft to hard
Now I’m always on my guard
When you see me cross the yard
Look away or you’ll be scarred

(Chorus)
Crave the sun
Crave the sun
Crave the sun
‘Til I get me some
Crave the sun
Crave the sun
Crave the sun
‘Til I get me some


Day to day and night to night
I now exist without the light
Every moment fight or flight
Every moment wrong or right

When your world has shrunk in size
And your world is filled with lies
You will never jeopardize
No matter how much you despise

(Chorus)
Crave the sun
Crave the sun
Crave the sun
‘Til I get me some
Crave the sun
Crave the sun
Crave the sun
‘Til I get me some


I pay the price for what I’ve done
Those sins can never be undone
I tried to hide I tried to run
Untroubled sleeps I now have none

When I reflect on what I did
I shake my head; you stupid kid
The boy is gone who blew his lid
A life of freedom? He lost his bid

(Chorus)
Crave the sun
Crave the sun
Crave the sun
‘Til I get me some


Locked away for twenty years
Might as well have disappeared
No one cared about my fears
All I had were silent tears

It turned me from soft to hard
Now I’m always on my guard
When you see me cross the yard
Look away or you’ll be scarred

(Chorus)
Crave the sun
Crave the sun
Crave the sun
‘Til I get me some
Crave the sun
Crave the sun
Crave the sun
‘Til I get me some


Day to day and night to night
I now exist without the light
Every moment fight or flight
Every moment wrong or right

When your world has shrunk in size
And your world is filled with lies
You will never jeopardize
No matter how much you despise

(Chorus)
Crave the sun
Crave the sun
Crave the sun
‘Til I get me some
Crave the sun
Crave the sun
Crave the sun
‘Til I get me some
Crave the sun
Crave the sun
Crave the sun
‘Til I get me some
Crave the sun
Crave the sun
Crave the sun
‘Til I get me some

No more hope; I hate the gun
My life has ended; it’s finally done
