Intro

If you want to be brave

 And reach for the top of the sky

And the farthest point on the horizon

Do you know who you'll meet there

Great soldiers and seafarers

Artists and dreamers

 Who need to be close, close to the light

 They need to be in danger of burning by fire

 And I, I want to get there

I, I want to be one

One who is touched by the sun

One who is touched by the sun

Often I want to walk

 The safe side of the street

And lull myself to sleep

 And dull my pain

But deep down inside I know

 I've got to learn from the greats

Earn my right to be living

 Let my wings of desire

 Soar over the night

I need to let them say

 "She must have been mad"

 And I, I want to get there

I, I want to be one

One who is touched by the sun

One who is touched by the sun

I've got to learn from the greats

Earn my right to be living

 With every breath that I take

Every heartbeat

 And I, I want to get there

I, I want to be one

One who is touched by the sun

One who is touched by the sun
