Just a day
Just an ordinary day
Just tryin' to get by
Just a boy
Just an ordinary boy
But he was lookin' to the sky
And as he asked if I would come along
I started to realize
That everyday he finds
Just what he's lookin' for
Like a shooting star he shines
He said Take my hand
Live while you can
Don't you feel in dreams
I write in the palm of your hand
And as he spoke he spoke ordinary words
Although they did not feel now
For I felt what I had not felt before
And you'd swear those words could heal
And as I looked up into those eyes
His vision borrows mine
And I know he's no stranger
For I feel I've held him for all of time
And he said Take my hand
Live while you can now
Don't you feel in dreams
I write in the palm of your hand
In the palm of your hand
Please come with me
See what I see
Touch the stars for time will not flee
Time will not flee
Can you see
Just a dream just an ordinary dream
As I wake in bed
And the boy
That ordinary boy
Or was it all in my head?
Did he ask if I would come along
It all seemed so real
But as I looked to the door
I saw that boy standin' there with a deal
And he said Take my hand
Live while you can now
Don't you feel in dreams
I write in the palm of your hand now
In the palm of your hand now
In the palm of your hand
Just a day just an ordinary day
Just tryin' to get by
Just a boy
Just an ordinary boy
But he was lookin' to the sky
