Sometimes it's the night and the way it seems to cry
And whisper terrifying secrets in your ear
Sometimes it's the day and the sun has got no mercy
Lighting up and burning everything that's in its way.
There are times I've gotta run, times I've gotta hide
Things I've left undone, things I cast aside
So many things to try
So many things denied.
If I ever tell you the truth
I'm scared you would leave me
I need the proof that you would believe me
You think I fly like an angel without any tears
Higher and higher, above the world and all its fears.
Everybody's ready to fly
But the storms are never so very far
And you think my life is shining like a star
But the fears are never very far.
And we always seem so much braver than we ever are
We always dream we'd be braver but we never are
Let's run away
Let's go so far.
Sometimes it's the flesh and the way it seems to yearn
For all the magic of a single perfect touch
Sometimes it's the soul and it's waiting for salvation
You'll know when you get it there could never be too much.
There are times I've gotta run, times I've gotta hide
Things I've left undone, things I've cast aside
So many things to try
So many things denied.
If I ever tell you the truth
Would you ever believe me?
Show me the proof, I'm so scared you would leave me
You think I fly like an angel without any cares
Higher and higher as if I'm breathing sacred air.
Everybody's ready to fly
But the storms are never so very far
And you think my life is shining like a star
But the fears are never very far
The nightmare's never very far.
And we always seem so much braver than we ever are
We always dream we'd be braver but we never are
Let's run away
Let's go too far.
Say a prayer for those who crawl
Say a prayer for those who run
Say a prayer so all and all
There's a better life to come.
Say a prayer for all the lost
Say a prayer for the unborn
Say a prayer for all the young
It takes a fire to keep them warm.
Say a prayer for those obsessed
Say a prayer for those enslaved
Say a prayer to beat the drums
From the cradle to the grave.
Say a prayer for all the saints
Say a prayer for all the sins
Let the dancing never end
Let the future now begin.
Say a prayer to all the gods
Some are near and some are far
Say a prayer to all the gods
Make us braver than we are.
Say a prayer to all the gods
Some are near and some are far
Say a prayer to all the gods
Make us braver than we are.
Make us braver than we are
Make us braver than we are
Make us braver than we are
And whisper terrifying secrets in your ear
