I’m not a supa-nova I’m a white – flower sitting at the side of the road
I’m not a supa-nova I’m a white flower that’s got a heavy load
of dust on it and I splu-tter
every time a truck goes by
I’m not a super-nova I’m a white flower and every time I ask..
Why me-why me- why me – (why)

I’m a super nova not a white – flower
I look down and see
A little sad dusty white flower
gazing up at me
Every time it asks why me?
I send a reason why
Another dusty truck or a motorbike to show the reason why.

I wonder how this can get better?
I wonder how my letter can arrive today?
I wonder how I might be really well?
I wonder how my love can phone

I’m not a super nova I’m a golden sun
Burning in the sky
And if you think that you’re not like me
Then that’s the reason why
The reason why you get burned every single time
(You always end up getting get burned if you think you’re not the sun, baby!)

I wonder how…I can free myself from feeling all alone?
I wonder how I can get that nice man to phone?
I wonder how I can love my body just the way it is?
I wonder how I can be successful in my chosen biz?

Every time you wonder why? Stop! Don’t do that thing!
Instead, make a ‘wonder-how’
We can create every thing we ever wanted if we only knew how to ask!

I wonder how… the world can be free from hunger and how we can live in love
I wonder how we can all be happy and know there is enough (enough for all, baby!)

The Universe is a super computer it wants to give to you (just push the buttons!)
‘I wonder how?’ is the greatest way to tell it what to do
(tell me about it baby!)

I wonder how I can mobilize all the world’s love?
I wonder how riches can rain down from above?
I wonder how MacDonalds can deliver food to the poor
I wonder how we all can have politicians we adore!

I wonder how I can free myself from feeling I am wrong?
I wonder how I can be successful and help you with this song?

I wonder how I can have fun today be happy in my life
I wonder how I can have more today, free myself from strife.
I wonder how I can feel good today and know that I’m the sun?
I wonder how I can feel safe today, be friends with everyone?

I’m not a super nova I’m the golden sun
I just look up to myself and know that I’m the one to follow
Look up to the sky, wonder how, don’t ask why, and you can have it all

You’re a super nova, you’re the golden sun
Be joyful, ask for all you want – go on – have fun!

It’s me – it’s me – it’s me
I am the sun the one the one the one
I am the sun
Shine on shine on shine on shine
I am the sun.

I’m a super nova, I’m the golden sun, I know what to do
The golden sun is my heart inside shining out at you.
