Play it by ear

Just like the season changes

life's unwritten pages

You cannot gage the years

just play it by ear

Don't let the past decide

what dreams may lie inside us

seek what the future hides

and keep your heart open wide and rise

(and you will rise)

Oh, where does the time go

Speeding and slow

Can't help but see it's taken its toll

Worked so hard that love's been put on hold

and guard not to sell my soul

But somewhere things went wrong

In this world, we're not meant to be alone

How selfish we both are

When feelings are down

can't even daze up at the stars

Like a child, remembering how to sing

Running wild, impulsive like the wind

and living on the fringe

For a while, let's just see what life brings

Look forward to tomorrow

and happiness will follow

With hope, I just wanna live

Compassion let's us swollow

emotions full of sorrow

In life, I just wanna give

Wade past the shallow waters

and trust yourself to go deeper

Your soul's eyes will let you see

Let's climb those hills together

and reach to get even higher

With you, I want to be free

So don't be afraid

Throw cautions away and be

Like a child, remembering how to sing

Running wild, impulsive like the wind

and living on the fringe

For a while, let's just see what life brings

Na na na na...

and keep your heart open wide

and you will rise
