We do our best
We stay in step
As time goes marching by
But there's something wrong
We don't start living
Until we almost die

[Chorus:]
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
And the universe listened

Well, I was born
A silver thorn
On a mid-west rose
I found out fast
Love is last
And it comes and goes
I made a deal
Hearts to steal
They will know my name
I'll pay the price
Any price
Just give me the fame

[Chorus]

A perfect song
My love wrong
So I ache the dark
A hero's close
The story goes on
But I hate the part
I chose to fall
Destroy it all
But I will rise again
I believe in love
Please send me love
And I will try again

[Chorus x2]

Remove the dark
Heal my heart
Make my body whole
I found my angels
Found my spirit
Guess I found my soul
Teach me how
Show me now
This light has taken me
I'm not ashamed
Help me explain
This awakening

[Chorus x2]
