Xanadu (This World is Yours)
Close your eyes and focus on your breaths
Dare to dream again
When you're ready to begin, take your first steps
As a shadow I'll guide you in conquering your bane
Where you're going I've already been through
Listen to my voice dancing upon your divine winds
Let it soothe you 'til it suits you
Join me in this meeting of the celestial minds
Out of nowhere hope springs internal
Heart of gold, eyes carved from jade
Life is fleeting, but we're eternal
There's no need to be afraid
You're not alone
Don't have to wage this secret war on your own
Let me set your mind at ease
Be your cool summer breeze
Trailing up your spine
Everything will be fine
Shut your eyes and count to seven
And when you open them we'll be in Heaven
("Wake Up")
Open your eyes and tell me what it is you see
Before you exists a world of infinite possibilities
Where you can be everything you dream
In this forgotten realm of golden opportunities
Hungry ghosts fade in the rear view
As we wander each overgrown path
Rediscovering a truth you always knew
Your mercy prevails over your wrath
Hand in hand, we'll seize the day
Fall seven times to stand up eight
Please understand, come whatever may
We're the architects of our own fate
I can slay your pain
Your lips will speak my name
All killer, no filler
I will be your painkiller
Feel me coursing through your veins
Be your sunshine when it rains
Stand and deliver, make you a believer
I will be your support pillar
("One Gains, One Loses")
Let your aspirations soar to monumental heights
Build them up then watch them multiply
Keep them framed in your crystalline sights
Like ancient monoliths kissing this saffron sky
Towering over your soul's emerald rainforest
Can't look back if you want to move forward
You always possessed the knowledge to pass this test
Virtue is its own reward
Be like water flowing in these sacred streams
What is the world?
It's not as black and white as it seems
Shed every cruelty hurled
I'll brighten your gray skies
Return every fallen star to your eyes
Because it's through our scars
We learn how we got this far
Nobody can be exactly like you
We become what we do
Never conform to what others wished you to be
For you see, perfection is standing in front of me
