I once was a dreamer
I once was a man
Looking out for things that Chris Columbus never can
I know that this does imply just another man
So I learned to turn my conscience off and on demand
I gotta run to ya, closer to my home
I gotta run to ya, further from alone
I once was a prisoner
But I didn’t even know
Looking out for number one
I’m part of that cosmic show
It took sometime to change my mind
Now I’m heading up again
Oh this love it doesn’t come that easy
Run, it keeps you warm through the night
