Intro

 Was it love or recognition that

 has healed this man's condition

 I'm hoping and I'm wishing that

 this bird won't fly away

We can see life hand in hand,

 the green, the blue, the rough, the sand

 And in our time and in our land

 we'll savor everyday

Chorus

 And oh, how our glory may fade away, well

 at least we've learned

 some things along the way

 You took me from my bubble

 knowing my defense was weak

 And you sat there and you listened

 any time I chose to speak

 you gathered from my pleas to

 you that I am but a clown

 And I fear only a hero can defeat

these demons now

Chorus

 And oh, how our glory may fade away, well

 at least we've learned some

 tricks of trade

And as time shall inevitably move on, mmmmh well then

 at least we'll have four strong

 legs to stand on

 To keep us alive...
