Top position: 21



Dedicada a Lenka:

Say you to me:
"You're a bird with an eye for anything shiny,
searchin' the land
for a hero of a man."
You say I need
more than my fair share of attention,
but I think you know
that just isn't so.
Underneath, I felt the fire of a burning question
tearin' me apart
right from the very start.
And now I see
that it don't take a trick of the light to excite me.
So strong, so long, you'll see.

Hold on
to what you've
been given lately,
hold on
to what you
know you've got.
Hold on
to what you've
been given lately,
hold on,
'cause the world will turn if you're ready or not.

Simplicity,
a heart of gold, an old head and young shoulders,
quiet and lovely,
becomin' part of me.
And now I see,
from a handful of names and a thousand faces,
one light, burnin', furiously.
I was tired of January,
I was tired of June,
I felt a change a-comin'.
Oh, I was tired of January,
tired of June,
I felt a change a-comin',
oh, I felt a change a-comin.
I felt a change a-comin',
felt a change a-comin', soon.

Hold on
to what you've
been given lately,
hold on
to what you
know you've got.
Hold on
to what you've
been given lately,
hold on
'cause the world will turn if you're ready or not.
