[Verse 1]
Stories always last as long
As the time it takes to write one
It might be a library long
Or just the sign of your name on a form
When you know that we
Hold our lives in our hands, and
If there is a star
That's bright enough to guide us on, shinin' strong
I would like to write a song
For the day that I heard the sound
No, it wouldn't take me much time
Anyway, I think I'm changin' my mind
'Cause there's sounds all around me
Nighttime on the sidewalk
Walkin' down a street with lonely thoughts
High and low, searching for a time bomb
Let me explode, and be everywherе at the same time
And lеave all that we've hidin' behind
Or maybe I should sit alone
And tell the negative to let me go
[Chorus]
Across the bridge to the other side
Where if you fall, you won't hurt your pride
And then, under caring eyes
We can try, and try, to try and fly
[Chorus]
Cross the bridge to the other side
Walk on a hill or mountainside
Come see all that you can be (For miles and miles and miles)
[Post-Chorus]
When I was a boy, I looked all around
I don't remember where I heard the sound
It's no use trying to pretend (It's no use trying to pretend)
Let it be, oh, let me walk
[Verse 2]
Free amongst the stars
