that's what our life is

they said i would shine like the light in the city, i hoped it would be like the moon on the sea, there was no one around when i died with my guitar, now there's a million people waiting for me, well i come on and let my soul out for an hour, play a few songs and go home with a flower, but i don't let it change all the things i believe in, like love and it's music and i wish i wasn't leavin', that's what our life is, that's what our home is, that's what our life is, how could i have known as i wrote down dreams, that they'd hear them, they'd live them, they'd love them all, oh they learned they were golden and i learned not to tell, dreams can never be too big but only small, that's what our life is, that's what our side is, that's what our life is, they said i would shine like the light in the city, i hoped it would be like the moon on the sea, there was no one around when i died with my guitar, now there's a million people waiting for me, and now there's a million people waitin' for me
