Wake up call at 6:00 AM / Just died in a dream at the wedding of an old friend
I had to fly on down on paper wings / But I couldn't pull out, and then I woke up singing
A mournful hymn about a life so sweet / That no one stopped living for just one second to think
Of what we leave behind for the children to sing / Try to anesthetize them and they may never start listening
To the world outside and all the change they'll bring / So come on, hold on tight, love, that you may never stop listeningThat you may never stop listening (x2)
There's such a world outside, love
That you may never stop listeningSo let's face the fire, that we may cage the sun / From that place inside, we crave to know what must be done
There's no reason to hide, there's nowhere left to run / So you may choose to die, love, but you may never stop listeningThat you may never stop listening (x2)
So come on, hold on tight, love
That you may never stop listening (x2)
There's such a world outside, love
That you may never stop listeningWill we close our eyes, and go back to sleep / just let the world flow by, you'll never have to fight to swim upstream
Or let your heart burn bright, in spite of everything / You gotta choose tonight that you will never stop listeningThat you may never stop listening (x2)
So come on, hold on tight, love
That you may never stop listening (x2)
There's such a world outside, love
That you may never stop listening(...that you may, that you may...)That you may never stop listening (x2)
There's such a world outside, love
That you may never stop listening
