silence is golden

this is what i've been told

the words never stop

the stories unfold

i can't sleep

my body's beat

but my mind's in motion

uncontrollable feet

i think of you all hours

it's true a vision in motion in my mind's view

and i've seen their faces

they'll trade me places

just to take you with their social graces

and the stars that shine

left me all alone with you

it's true shine a light on me

shine a light on me

shine a light on me

behold the dream

i'll always try to keep you by my side

such a deep feeling i can't describe

mount kilamanjaro or the prophesied arrow

can't stop me as i was told by the pharaohs

your spirit forever time can never weather

because it was given as a gift from heaven

and the stars shine bright

the purest light shines down and chases the night

and the stars have shown

left me all alone with you

it's true shine a light on me

shine a light on me

shine a light on me

behold a dream

as the people gather on a coast surround

i tell the story in which you'd be proud

and the stars will shine

as they stop the time for you

it's true

shine a light on me

shine a light on me

shine a light on me

behold a dream

shine a light on me

shine a light on me

shine a light on me

behold the dream
