GThunder's beClow GHeavensC  
GHeaven's beClow the GstarsC  
GStars are Dattached by Cinvisible Emthread
GTo the darkness Dthat is CLove
I've been Greading this CChinese GbookC  
It Gtells me how Cfar I should GgoC  
Gand that hope is a Ddream like a Cbutterfly Emwing
and that Gnature is DHeaven's Caccord
GNature is DHeaven's Caccord
And I Gwish I was Amin-Cno-Emcent, wish I could FbeClieve in Git
Know what I Amwant, Cno one can Emget
Wish I was FinCnoGcent, Wish I was FinCnoGcent, wish I was FinCnoGcent
GIf I loved a Cgirl with Glong golden Ccurls,
and GI was a Cman without Gguile,C  
GI would never Dintend the Cnight we would Emspend
'cause the Glife of a Dman is a Ctrial
The Glife of a Dman is a Ctrial
And I Gwish I was Amin-Cno-Emcent, wish I could FbeClieve in Git
Know what I Amwant, Cno one can Emget
Wish I was FinCnoGcent, Wish I was FinCnoGcent, wish I was FinCnoGcent
CSwingin' from Gstars, Ctoo near or too Gfar
CWatching them Emshine, doin’ my Atime, makin’ them Cmine, then I leave them beGhind
GThus it is Csaid that your Gheart not your Chead 
Should Gguide you on Cthrough to the GendC  
GAnd if you should Dfind a Clove that can Embind
GAttain it Dthrough Cinnocence
GAttain it Dthrough Cinnocence
And I Gwish I was Amin-Cno-Emcent, wish I could FbeClieve in Git
Know what I Amwant, Cno one can Emget, wish I was FinCnoGcent.
I Gwish I was Amin-Cno-Emcent, wish I could FbeClieve in Git
Know what I Amwant, Cno one can Emget, I was FinCnoGcent.
Wish I was FinCnoGcent, Wish I was FinCnoGcent, wish I was FinCnoGcent
