[Verse 1]
Now I let go
Everything that I've known
Let it go on, let it roll out
With the tide
I can't think of a thing
That hasn't been shot through with pain
Like a nightingale's
Song in the dead of the night
[Chorus]
Goodbye, so long, farewell, all I've been
Ooh, oblivion
Throw me in the ocean
Ooh, see if I can swim
I'm wild again, I'm a starchild again
I've come ten million miles, ooh, I'm burning
I'm a summer dream, I'm a real light beam, I'm worthy
Of all the goodness and the love that the world's gonna give to me
I'ma give it back ten times, people, are you ready?
If you think you're alone, hold on, I'm coming
[Verse 2]
Now I unfold
Every lie I was told
Watch 'em wither, watch 'em scatter
With the wind
I can't think of a thing
That hasn't been born of a dream
Like a love supreme
Like a circle unbroken
[Chorus]
Goodbye, so long, farewell, all I've been
Ooh, oblivion
Throw me in the ocean
Ooh, Mama, watch me swim
I'm wild again, I'm a starchild again
I've come ten million miles, ooh, I'm burning
I'm a summer dream, I'm a real light beam, I'm worthy
Of all the goodness and the love that the world's gonna give to me
I'ma give it back ten times, people, are you ready?
If you think you're alone, hold on, I'm coming
[Outro]
Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know you are never alone?
