Violet Lyrics
Don't cut your journey short
Not anymore
You beautiful boy
Just run
Don't hit the floor
Not anymore
You brilliant boy
Just chill, you're made to sing
On anything, you golden child
[Chorus]
You're my violet in the sun
You're my violet in the sun
You're my violet in the sun
You're my violet in the sun
[Outro]
We've often lost our way
All we ask is that you lead today
Give us strength, most holy Lord
Strength to meet this day
Lead us by your holy word
Guide us in-
About
“Violet” describes Daniel Caesar chasing his dreams of becoming an R&B artist, but is still far from becoming a reality. The title is inspired by a girl he “hanged around with.” Daniel went over the music video’s concept in an interview with Billboard:
In the video, if you pick up on it, Ellis Nakata (co-star) was really just a figment of my imagination. She represents everything that I desire, and everything that I’m striving for. Before I moved to the city I spent every Saturday sitting in church wishing I could be living on my own, doing what I wanted. I think this video portrays that.

“Violet” is really for this girl I was hanging around with at the time. She told me once that she wrote a song when she was little, called “Violet in the Sun.” So I made “Violet.” I wanted her so bad but I never really had her.
