Lyrics

(G)Fol low,

fol low the sun,

and which way the wind (C)blows

when this day is done.

(G)Breathe,

breathe in the air;

set your in ten (C)tions,

dream with (G)care.

To mor row’s a new day for ev ’ry one;

brand new moon and brand new sun.

(G)Fol low,

fol low the sun,

and which way the wind (C)blows

when this day is done.

Follow The Sun by Xavier Rudd — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Follow The Sun” by Xavier Rudd in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of G at 116 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

Tips for parents & teachers

  • Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
  • Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
  • Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
  • Tap a measure number on the timeline to jump to a specific section for repeat practice.
