If I look back And ask myself how many times Have I fallen in love Would I be discouraged or Just see it all as moving on? If I look back And ask myself how many times Have I felt not enough Would I be discouraged or Just see it all as growing up? Just because I'm still waiting Doesn't mean that there's no hope Just because I sleep on my own Doesn't mean that I'm alone If I look up And ask again "How many times Will I be let down?" Can I be discouraged or Do I have to see it as moving on? If I look up And ask again "Jesus, why?" As I fall to the ground Can I finally be told why My heart is aching to be found Just because I'm still waiting Doesn't mean that there's no hope Just because I sleep on my own Doesn't mean that I'm alone Just because I'm still walking Doesn't mean that there's no home Just because I sleep on my own Here it stands now right in front of me Here's the answer to all my dreams But I find it's so hard to see, The meaning of it all Falling back now into what I know, Before I can let this go Tell me I am not alone And I can keep on walking Here it stands now right in front of me Here's the answer to all my dreams But I find it's still hard to see, The meaning of it all Falling back now into what I know, Before I can let this go Tell me I am not alone And I can keep on walking Just because I'm still waiting Doesn't mean that there's no hope Just because I still sleep on my own Doesn't mean that I'm alone Just because I'm still walking Doesn't mean that there's no home Just because I still sleep on own

Doctor What is happening to me? Palpitations My mind's diseased Even my vision is impaired I'm losing my hair Cos when I hold her in my arms I feel like Fred Astaire Lovesick My temperature's high Just met a girl Who believes we can fly I'm a bull not a bear I'm a millionaire And when I hold her in my arms I feel like Fred Astaire I believe in happiness I believe in Love I believe she fell to earth From somewhere high above I believe in Hollywood Don't believe that Love must bring despair Cos when I hold her in my arms I'm just like Fred Astaire He said love is just a disease A plague for the naïve These days no one believes These days no one believes Meteors may strike the earth Nations live and die I'm the boy who got the girl Who showed me how to fly We can cross the race divide Bridge a gap that wasn't really there When I hold her in my arms I feel like Fred Astaire I'm gonna hold her in my charm Just like Fred Astaire

Ring the bells Wake the town Everyone is sleeping Shout at the crowd Wake them up This angers deeper than sleep Got to keep awake to what is happening I can't see a thing through my ambitions I no longer feel like my God is watching over me Got to tell the world we've all been dreaming This is not the end, a new beginning I no longer feel my God is watching over me Break the code Concentrate Let the doors swing open See through all your walls All your floors Now you're in deeper than sleep Got to keep awake to what is happening I can't see a thing through my ambitions I no longer feel my God is watching over me Got to tell the world we've all been dreaming This is not the end, a new beginning I no longer feel my God is watching over me When you let me fall Grew my own wings Now I'm as tall as the sky When you let me drown Grew gills and fins Now I'm as deep as the sea When you let me die My spirit's free There's nothing challenging me
