Bm        D   A             Bm       D     A   
Cross the sky as we let our flight design, heaven 
Bm      D     A          F#m        G
Born to rise, to forever follow our hearts 
Bm      D A               Bm      D    A  
You and I stand together, binding ties severed 
Bm       D   A               F#m           G
Learn to fly or you'll never reach for the stars 
A                     F#m  G 
As true believers our love is rare

So many seekers, so much despair

There in you I can see a dawn, a new era 
Bm       D        A                 F#m        G
Breaking through, shouting from the dark to be heard 
Bm     D     A              Bm       D   A
Pure belief, we were always meant to be, you're my 
Bm   D   A                 F#m         G
Fantasy, you are something out of this world 
A                          F#m  G
We'll find a place for the love we share 
A                       F#m  G
So take my hand, I will take you there

On through the night, shine like the stars 
   A                             E/G#
No trick of the light fades this nebula 
G                A                  F#/Bb      Bm     A   E   F#sus4
Nothing to lose, strong and true as always I remember
   F#        G     A    F#/Bb
We prove our love

This tower is to defend our love 
Bm   F#m             G            A
This mountainside is mirrored on emotion 
Bm F#m              B        A
No power could ever bend our love 
      Em          F#m      G      A
It's alive in our hearts tonight

Bm      D     A            Bm       D   A
Life is life, never let it pass you by, never 
Bm   D  A             F#m          G
Justify anything your heart can control 
Bm     D     A             Bm       D     A
In our time, we create our piece of mind, for how 
Bm       D      A                F#m        G
High you climb, doesn't mean the harder you fall 
A                        F#m   G
You can't be blind, only fools rush in 
A                     F#m   G
You must abide by the rules to win
