Indeed it is, as are all Acoustic Chorale tracks! Sooner is a personal favorite of mine, perfect for listening to on a sunny summer day!

Welcome to the forum, by the way.  ;)

tom eisey transcribed and I think it's dead on.  that's the version that's up over at the "other lyrics" thread:

start out early in the mornin  
they get up way before the sun  
with flowin lights the city bustles  
it truly grins for everyone  
 
take their little Jim to Xavier  
take him to slowly to the show  
and in my eyes they show the loveliness  
that brings me back to you so much  
 
Sooner or later they come to see you  
feed you power in the yellow sun  
for all your days they keep you movin  
quick as lightnin they'll be gone  
 
i know the soul needs wine and kindness  
i know the eye needs lots of fun  
i know these things will come to see you  
to prove it's true i'll tell everyone  
 
Sooner or later they'll come to see you  
and feel your power in the yellow sun  
to all your days I wish you blindness    
from all the evils in the world  
 
Sooner or later I'll come to see you  
feel your power in the yellow sun..
