Close your tired eyes relax and then

Count from one to ten and open them.

All these heavy thoughts will try to weigh you down,
G
But not this time.

Way up in the air you're finally free,

and you can stay up there right next to me.
Am
All this gravity will try to pull you down,
G
But not this time.

When the sun goes down and the lights burn out,

Brighter than a shooting star,

So shine no matter where you are.

Fill the darkest night with a brilliant light

Gaze into my eyes when the fire starts,
F
and fan the flame so high it melts our hearts.
Am
Oh, the pouring rain will try to put it out,
G
But not this time.

Let your colors burn and brightly burst
F
Into a million sparks that all disperse
Am
And illuminate a world that will try to bring you down,
G
But not this time
