EmEyes betray the sDoul
And bear its Emthinking
Beyond words, they say so Dmany things to Emme
A stranger Ghere, reborn it Dseems
Awaking Emwonders deep in me
If nothing's ventured, nothing's gDained
So I must Emseize the day
[chorus 1]
And fighting Gtime, so hard I Dpray
That this moEmment lasts forever
And will the Gworld stay standing Dstill
At least for Emme
Through my Geyes, stare into Dme
I bare my Emheart for all to see
With my Gface turned to the Dsun
There ever Emstanding still
It wasn't Emyou, it wasn't Dme
It wasn't aEmnything
It was a day so long aDwaited
And a Emchance to be as me
I let the Gwind run through my Dhands
Before I Emturned to walk away
In distant days, I long to Dsense it all so Emclear
[chorus 2]
And fighting Gtime, so much I Dask
I will this mEmoment last forever
Though seasons Gchange, things come to pasDs
Remain insEmide of me
I had no Emfaith, before that tDime
In any Emvow or deed
Days followed Ddays, and years were mEmeaningless
Despite the Gwisdom of dDefeat
I bore my hEmeart for all to see
The wonders I Ghad seen
DThe wonders I Emhad seen
[repeat chorus 1 and 2]

Awaking wonders deep in me

If nothing's ventured, nothing's gained

So I must seize the day

And will the world stay standing still

At least for me

Through my eyes, stare into me

I bare my heart for all to see

With my face turned to the sun

There ever standing still

It wasn't you, it wasn't me

It wasn't anything

It was a day so long awaited

And a chance to be as me

I let the wind run through my hands

Before I turned to walk away

The wonders I had seen

The wonders I had seen
