This is the story of a young woman
Trying to find her place in this world of many shades
She did not fit with this idea of race
Too dark or too bright they say
She felt like she was the unexpected
Union of moon and sun
Oh mama she's made of night and day
Oh mama she's made of night and day
And all through the sleepless night
The darker side of the sun led her to the hidden land
By light of day and shadow of night
Who'd ever thought she would shine so bright
Even though she was the unexpected
Daughter of the midnight sun
Oh mama we're made of night and day
Oh mama we're made of night and day
We are children of the midnight sun
Always walking the sands of another land
We are children of the midnight sun
Always walking the sands of another land
As slowly day awakens
Confusion melts away
In shades of dawn and light we find
The soul of night and day
