I heard it might it be storming But I knew, I had an early warning Caught my own reflection And I can see, call it misdirection So much trouble in my head Keeping me down There's so much trouble in my mind Gotta find my way out, somehow Somehow I thought that I was dreaming But I could see I would stop my feeling Black skies got me asking Have I got it right? Some things I might be masking So much trouble in my head Keeping me down So much trouble in my mind Gotta find my way out, somehow Somehow I heard it might be storming But I knew, I had an early warning

We are secrets to each other Each ones life a novel no one else has read Even joined in bonds of love We're linked to one another by such slender threads We are planets to each other Drifting in our orbits to a brief eclipse Each of us a world apart Alone and yet together like to passing ships Just between us I think its time for us to recognize The differences we sometimes fear to show Just between us I think it's time for us to realize The spaces in between Leave room For you and I to grow We are strangers to each other Full of sliding panels An illusion show Acting well rehearsed routines Or playing from the heart? It's hard for one to know Just between us I think it's time for us to recognize The differences we sometimes fear to show Just between us I think it's time for us to realize The spaces in between Leave room For you and I to grow We are islands to each other Building hopeful bridges on a troubled sea Some are burned or swept away Some we would not choose But we're not always free Just between us I think it's time for us to recognize The differences we sometimes fear to show Just between us I think it's time for us to realize The spaces in between Leave room for you and to grow

If I could wave my magic wand I am made from the dust of the stars And the oceans flow in my veins Here I hide in the heart of the city Like a stranger coming out of the rain The evening plane rises up from the runway Over constellations of light I look down into a million houses And wonder what you're doing tonight If I could wave my magic wand I'd make everything all right I'm not one to believe in magic But I sometimes have a second sight I'm not one with a sense of proportion When my heart still changes overnight I had a dream of a winter garden A midnight rendezvous Silver, blue and frozen silence What a fool I was for you I had a dream of the open water I was swimming away out to sea So deep I could never touch bottom What a fool I used to be If I could wave my magic wand I'd set everybody free I'm not one to believe in magic Though my memory has a second sight I'm not one to go pointing my finger When I radiate more heat than light Don't ask me, I'm just improvising My illusion of careless flight Can't you see my temperature's rising? I radiate more heat than light Don't ask me, I'm just sympathizing My illusion's a harmless flight Can't you see my temperature's rising? I radiate more heat than light I'm not one to believe in magic But I sometimes have a second sight I'm not one with a sense of proportion When my heart still changes overnight I'm not one to believe in magic (If I could wave my magic wand) Though my memory has a second sight (I'd make everything all right) I'm not one to go pointing my finger (If I could wave my magic wand) When I radiate more heat than light (I'd set everybody free) I'm not one to believe in magic (If I could wave my magic wand) I'm not one to believe in magic

The snakes and arrows a child is heir to Are enough to leave a thousand cuts We build our defenses, a place of safety And leave the darker places unexplored Sometimes the fortress is too strong Or the love is too weak What should have been our armor Becomes a sharp and angry sword Our better natures seek elevation A refuge for the coming night No one gets to their heaven without a fight No one We hold beliefs as a consolation A way to take us out of ourselves Meditation, or medication A comfort, or a promised reward Sometimes that spirit is too strong Or the flesh is too weak Sometimes the need is just too great For the solace we seek The suit of shining armor Becomes a keen and bloody sword No one gets to their heaven without a fight A refuge for the coming night A future of eternal light No one gets to their heaven without a fight No one Confused alarms of struggle and flight Blood is drained of color By the flashes of artillery light No one gets to their heaven without a fight The battle flags are flown At the feet of a god unknown No one gets to their heaven, heaven No one gets to their heaven without a fight Sometimes the damage is too great Or the will is too weak What should have been our armor Becomes a sharp and burning sword No one gets to their heaven without a fight A refuge for the coming night A future of eternal light No one gets to their heaven without a fight No one No one gets to their heaven without a fight
