They said I would shine like the light in the city
I hoped it would be like the moon on the sea
There was no one around when I died with my guitar
Now there's a million people waiting for me
Well I come on and let my soul out for an hour
Play a few songs and go home with a flower
But I don't let it change all the things I believe in
Like love and it's music and I wish I wasn't leavin'
That's what our life is
That's what our home is
That's what our life is
How could I have known as I wrote down dreams
That they'd hear them, they'd live them, they'd love them all
Oh they learned they were golden and I learned not to tell
Dreams can never be too big but only small
That's what our life is
That's what our side is
That's what our life is
They said I would shine like the light in the city
I hoped it would be like the moon on the sea
There was no one around when I died with my guitar
Now there's a million people waiting for me
And now there's a million people waitin' for me
