The World Is Too Big For One Lifetime

I won’t love you for the rest of my life
But I’ll bear the scars of the red-hot knife
That history scorched into my hand.
In the cities of glass they wear this brand.
From hy-brasil to the virtual worlds
Where dreamers drown as they dive for pearls.
I’m gonna fire up a forge that’s real
And turn this weight into wings of steel
The lead that pinned me to the track
Will set me free.
You’re never gonna hold me back.

The world is too big for one life
And time is never on our side.
The world is too big for one life
And time is never on our side.
I lived a whole life through
The moment I first saw you
And my hunger won’t be denied.
Floating intangible in dreams,
In my dreams.

It’s hard to take each day as it comes when you’re
Looking for the love you need.
But we carry all our paths inside
It’s all in me, and it’s all you need.
