I went out in the darkness of the day
A near full moon on stunning display
The snow crunching underneath my feet
I never knew life could be so sweet
Hop on the bus; get on a plane
A certain freedom I can’t name
Has settled into my old bones
They know where they are going home
So I can take the aches, I can take the pains
I can take the world going up in flames
So long as I do what I can
To make this place better than I am
Better than I am, better than you are
We’re all reaching for some kind of star
Be it food or cold hard cash
Now’s the time to share your stash
Share your hopes, share your dreams
Share your better world schemes
We’re all breathing the same air
But nothing about this life is fair
It is up to you, it is up to me
To make ourselves a better place to be
Perhaps we’ll change the world in time
It all starts in your mind
I can take the aches, I can take the pains
I can take the world going up in flames
So long as I do what I can
To make this place better than I am
Better than I am, better than you are
We’re all reaching for some kind of star
Be it food or cold hard cash
Now’s the time to share your stash
It is up to you, it is up to me
To make ourselves a better place to be
Perhaps we’ll change the world in time
It all starts in your mind
