A thousand lives to choose between A million worlds in which to be I watch your life, and though you aren't real You can come back again and live my dream You are a mystery - we'll never know where you exist Such a proud enigma - as you look back at us I have seen you all my life Existing there instead of me With each of you a gateway to a world I want to hide And you appear again to follow me As we see the perfect life you lead You're a king in all the worlds you've seen And the power of thought that we give you Sustains your life behind the screen A million of us watch your life In your emotion we all share Sides of good and evil, sides of right and wrong Life is that simple for you there You are a mystery We'll never know where you exist Such a proud enigma As you look back at us Savior of a thousand worlds You can choose your time I have seen you disappear and live again And I see you, want to be you But I know that in the end We live a thousand worlds away I want to be the hero of the hour To be the star in everybody's eyes And when they see my image running through the sky Then they will know that I am still alive Wouldn't you like to live as me For just a day of your life I'll let you taste the world you crave For just a moment in time I want to be the hero of the hour To be the star in everybody's eyes And when they see my image running through the sky Then they will know that I am still alive I want to be the hero of the hour To be the star in everybody's eyes And when they see my image running through the sky Then they will know that I am still alive The hero with a thousand lives A hero who could never die I see you running through the sky But I must remain here
