  • Hold a halo 'round the world
    Golden is the day
    Princes of the Universe
    Your burden is the way
    So, there is no better time
    Who will be born today?
    A gypsy child at the day break
    A King for a day

    Out of the shadows and into the sun
    Dreams of the past as the old ways are done
    Out there is beauty, and surely there is pain
    But we must endure it to live again

    Dust and dreams in fading daylight
    Flicker on the walls
    Nothing new your life's adrift
    What purpose to it all?
    Eyes are closed and death is calling
    Reaching out its hand
    Call upon the starlight to surround you

    Out of the shadows and into the sun
    Dreams of the past as the old ways are done
    Out there is beauty, and surely there is pain
    But we must endure it to live again

    Out of the shadows and into the sun
    Dreams of the past as the old ways are done
    Out there is beauty, and surely there is pain
    But we must endure it to live again

    Out of the shadows and into the sun
    Dreams of the past as the old ways are done
    Out there is beauty, and surely there is pain
    But we must endure it to live again

    Out of the shadows and into the sun
    Dreams of the past as the old ways are done
    Out there is beauty, and surely there is pain
    But we must endure it to live again
