Have you ever been up
|
Have you ever been down
|
Have you ever been lost
|
Have you ever been found
|
Have you ever been right
|
Have you ever been wrong
|
Have you come up short
|
Can you come along
|
Have you left a mark
|
Have you left alone
|
Have you seen the way
|
Can you come back home
|
Short stories
|
babe just take what they will give
|
Short stories
|
that's all it's ever been
|
Don't you worry 'bout the ending
|
Babe, before we begin
|
I have seen the sun
|
That's behind the rain
|
I have felt the joy
|
That's behind the pain
|
Did you ever go soft
|
Did you ever run wild
|
I've been a hundred years old
|
I been a newborn child
|
I have found a smile in the midst of tears
|
I can find a heart in the midst of fear
|
Don't you know I need you near me
|
Or my happy ending's gone
|
And I see now so very clearly
|
That our story must go on
|
and on!
|
If I give myself
|
Can I ask for you
|
If I give you hope
|
Can we make it through
|
You know I need a dream
|
Like I need my breath
|
We need to take the life
|
Before we get the death
|
You know I need your love
|
Like I need the light
|
Yes I need the chance
|
Can it be tonight?
|
