Towards The Sun
Rihanna · Other Songs - Rihanna
Turn your face
Towards the sun
Let the shadows fall behind you
Don't look back
Just carry on
And the shadows will never find you
[Verse 1]
Lost in the rock and roll
Got lost in a promise
Of a love I never know
Shadows chase me far from home
I remember when my heart was filled with gold
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And you know
I've been burned
I've been burned
I've been burned
You've seen me lose control
Its not worth
Its not worth
Its not worth
My Soul
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
Lost my faith and trust
You and I know
Gold don't turn to rust
I still swear that we can reign
Like the kings and queens of better yesterdays
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Don't you know
I've been burned
I've been burned
I've been burned
You've seen me lose control
Its not worth
Its not worth
Its not worth
My Soul
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Where you gonna go
Where you gonna go
Where you gonna run to
When you get to the edge of the night
Its time you face the sky
[Chorus x3]
