Feel how the years have passed Rushing like a raging sea Riding on the crest of a breaker Holding on to what could be Never dreamed I could love a stranger Never doubted the mystery Now living is pure adventure 'Cause I know, I know you'll stand by me Feel how the moods are changing The nations of every creed The symphony of every heartbeat The movement for those in need If tolerance falls to the wayside If freedom is down on its knees I won't fall far with the sinners 'Cause I know, I know you'll stand by me There's a reason, there's a cause We can benefit from playing all our cards together Through the seasons and up to the stars We could elevate a consciousness forever But I'm gonna tell them I won't leave it, I won't tire, I want to keep my sole desire I wanna run it to the wire, we don't need another world on fire Liberate the real tomorrow Leave a chance for the mild and meek Realize that time is borrowed Look ahead to the gift we seek When the sea runs wild to the ocean The river runs true to the sea I'll follow this dream with the tide 'Cause I know, I know you'll stand by me There's a reason, there's a cause We can benefit from playing all our cards together Through the seasons and up to the stars We could elevate a consciousness forever But I'm gonna tell them I won't leave it, I won't tire, I want to keep my sole desire I wanna run it to the wire, we don't need another world on fire There's a reason, there's a cause We can benefit from playing all our cards together Through the seasons and up to the stars We could elevate a consciousness forever Well I'm gonna tell them I won't leave it, I won't tire, I want to keep my sole desire I wanna run it to the wire, we don't need another world on fire I won't leave it, I won't tire, I want to keep my sole desire I wanna run it to the wire, we don't need another world on fire World on fire
