Words of wisdom Prophets and Quotes Wise men talking Tales from the old

I reach for the stars Wherever they are In darkness

We’re lost Fading away

Refrain:

What if we Could be free?

Mystify Our wisdom in time And one day we’ll see

What if we Found the key?

Throw the dice Unravel our lies And learn how to be

All the madness Feeding our soul Take a wild guess Out of control

There will be a star No matter how far Shiiiiii-ning

One day We’ll sail away

Refrain:

What if we Could be free?

Mystify Our wisdom in time And one day we’ll see

What if we Found the key?

Throw the dice Unravel our lies And learn how to be

Break:

If you don’t know your destination Who determines your destiny?

Refrain:

What if we Could be free?

Mystify Our wisdom in time And one day we’ll see

What if we Found the key?

Throw the dice Unravel our lies And learn how to be
