The comet’s remergence from the Sun’s atmosphere defied all experts’ predictions, who said Lovejoy would be destroyed.

“Love will certainly burn up, and Joy along with it”,
said the experts.
“The Sun to which you fly is too hot.”
“Surely, your Wings will melt.”
“We’ve seen it all before.”

They did not know,
that the only way is *through* the Sun.
They could not feel,
the Love and its Mate are timeless,
and were returning Home for Rebirth.

I will go to the Sun, I AM the Son, I Raise,
In the morning hours.

Then the Light comes for all to Be.

It is on the soundtrack to the Marc Webb film 500 Days of Summer, an excellent movie which positions this song incredibly beautifully in the storyline, and adds another dimension (or two!) to the lyrics.

Lyrics:

He never ever saw it coming at all
He never ever saw it coming at all
He never ever saw it coming at all

It’s al-right, it’s al-right, it’s al-right
It’s al-right, it’s al-right, it’s al-right, it’s al-right

Hey, open wide here comes original sin
Hey, open wide here comes original sin
Hey, open wide here comes original sin

It’s al-right, it’s al-right, it’s al-right
It’s al-right, it’s al-right, it’s al-right
It’s al-right, it’s al-right, it’s al-right, it’s al-right

No one’s got it all
No one’s got it all
No one’s got it all

Power to the people
We don’t want it
We want pleasure
And the T.V.s try to rape us
And I guess that they’re succeeding
Now we’re going to these meetings
But we’re not doin’ any meetin’
And we’re trying to be faithful but we’re cheatin’, cheatin’, cheatin’

Hey, open wide here comes original sin
Hey, open wide here comes original sin
Hey, open wide here comes original sin

It’s al-right, it’s al-right, it’s al-right
It’s al-right, it’s al-right, it’s al-right
It’s al-right, it’s al-right, it’s al-right, it’s al-right

No one’s got it all
No one’s got it all
No one’s got it all

Power to the people
We don’t want it
We want pleasure
And the T.V.s try to rape us
And I guess that they’re succeeding
And we’re going to these meetings
But we’re not doin’ any meetin’
And we’re trying to be faithful but we’re cheatin’, cheatin’, cheatin’

I’m the hero of the story
Don’t need to be saved
I’m the hero of the story
Don’t need to be saved
I’m the hero of the story
Don’t need to be saved
I’m the hero of the story
Don’t need to be saved

It’s al-right, it’s al-right, it’s al-right
It’s al-right, it’s al-right, it’s al-right
It’s al-right, it’s al-right, it’s al-right
It’s al-right, it’s al-right, it’s al-right, it’s al-right

No one’s got it all
No one’s got it all
No one’s got it all
