The heat and light of the sun come from the nuclear reactions
The sun is large
Of hydrogen,carbon, nitrogen and helium

Scientists have found that the sun is a huge atom-smashing machine
The sunlight comes from our own sun's atomic energy
If the sun were hollow, a million earths could fit inside
It is so hot that everything on it is a gas
Where hydrogen is built into helium at a temperature of millions of degrees
About 93,000,000 miles away, and that's why it looks so small
Iron, copper, aluminum and many others
The sun is mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace
The sun is mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace
Without the sun, without a doubt, there'd be no you and me
But here on earth there'd be no life without the light it gives
Where hydrogen is built into helium at a temperature of millions of degrees
Yo ho it's hot, the sun is not a place where we could live
Where hydrogen is built into helium at a temperature of millions of degrees
And even when it's out of sight, the sun shines night and day
The sun is far away
Songwriters: Lou Singer, Hy Zaret
And yet the sun is still only a middle-sized star
The sun is hot
The sun is mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace
We need its light, we need its heat, we need its energy
The sun gives heat, the sun gives light, the sunlight that we see
