  • Every day I write the list
    Of reasons why I still believe they do exist
    (A thousand beautiful things)
    And even though it's hard to see
    The glass is full and not half empty
    (A thousand beautiful things)
    So, light me up like the sun
    To cool down with your rain
    I never want to close my eyes again
    Never close my eyes
    Never close my eyes

    I thank you for the air to breathe
    The heart to beat
    The eyes to see again
    (A thousand beautiful things)
    And all the things that's been and done
    The battle's won
    The good and bad in everyone
    (This is mine to remember)
    So,
    Here I go again
    Singin' by your window
    Pickin' up the pieces of what's left to find

    The world was meant for you and me
    To figure out our destiny
    (A thousand beautiful things)
    To live
    To die
    To breathe
    To sleep
    To try to make your life complete
    (Yes yes)
    So
    Light me up like the sun
    To cool down with your rain
    I never want to close my eyes again
    Never close my eyes
    Never close my eyes
    That is everything I have to say
