 Sunburst like sunflowers over steamy skies
 Trails to the west and I wonder why
      I wonder...

 Oh, what makes the man transcend
      over the Rio Grande to ask the woman
           that he loves for her sturdy hand
 And I'd like to know how far I stand here
      from this road that leads me west
           to find one love that answers yes

 Shine away, array one story
      under the sun
 I offer up my own 
 A tale spins, weaving life's stories
 I wonder how many more I'll see
      'til I find the one that finds me
 One story under the sun
      one to call my own

 Oh and I've heard them told, promises as 
      good as gold and lovers bearing ready
           hearts beneath their very souls
 And it feels so right before me -- without this love,
      what kind of story could it be?
           And I want to be...

 Shine away, array one story
      under the sun
 I offer up my own
 A tale spins, weaving life's stories
 I wonder how many more I'll see
      'til I find the one that finds me
 One story under the sun
      one to call my own

 Here I am 
 One sunburst sunflower
           basking in the rays
 Oh to be arrayed like one of these
      in all of Solomon's glory
 And now I have come to see there's
      one theme to this story:
 To be who I am

 Shine away, array one story
      under the sun
 I offer up my own
 Shine away
 One story under the sun
 One story under the sun
 One story under the sun
 One to call my own
