Lyrics
Yellow sun show out your face,
Calling on the sun to reveal itself
Injustice is in this human race
Highlighting injustice prevalent in humanity
Some living big while others living small
Disparity between the affluent and less privileged
And they don't hear when the children call
People are indifferent to the cries of children
Whoy whoy whoy whoy even if they're crying
Expressing distress even if there are cries
Whoy whoy whoy whoy
Repetition of distressful sounds
The homeless need some shelter
Addressing the need for shelter for the homeless
He gave the sun to shine for all of mankind
A statement about the sun being given for all of humanity
He gave the sun to shine for all,
Reiteration of the sun being given for everyone
Everyone of mankind
Emphasizing the inclusivity of the sun's gift
He gave the sun to shine
Reaffirming the gift of the sun
For all those living in creation
For all living beings in creation
He gave the sun to shine for all
Repetition of the sun shining for everyone
Mister plenty showing nothing,
Critiquing those with abundance but lacking compassion
No love and kindness
Highlighting the absence of love and kindness
For his fellow brethren,
Lack of empathy towards fellow human beings
He's got everything
Contrast between abundance and deprivation
And they've got nothing
Disparity where some have everything and others nothing
And he knows they're in need
Acknowledging the awareness of their need
Of something now,
Stating the urgency of their need
They want some food for their table,
Expressing the basic necessity of food
Their backs need some clothing
Highlighting the need for clothing
I said you must be blind,
Challenging the perception of those who are indifferent
Can't you see mankind
Calling attention to the blindness towards humanity
When we read and discover ourselves
Encouraging self-reflection and understanding
The injustice of this here government
Criticizing the injustice of the government
The yellow sun don't hide away your face
Reiterating the call for the sun to shine
Injustice in this human race
Repeating the acknowledgment of injustice in humanity
Some living big while others living small
Reiterating the contrast in living standards
And they don't hear when the children call
Reiterating the indifference to children's cries
If they bawl,
Expressing the children's cries
If they cry now they need some food
Stating the need for food for the children
For their children now
Reaffirming the urgency for children's needs
He gave the sun to shine for all mankind
Reiteration of the sun being given for all of mankind
He gave the sun to shine for all
Reiteration of the sun being given for all
