10. Of Battles Lost and Won (5:45)
Nothing stirs emotion
Like a passionate kiss
Stolen at the moment
Of perfection and bliss
Something unexpected
An unspoken wish
Comes stepping
From the shadows
And we're reaching
For the Moon again
Faith can move a mountain
Guide a hand or a fist
Love becomes impossible
To fight or resist
Mends or ends in heartbreak
But we never give in
The skies electrify
The air is full of wonder
Of dreams, realities
Of lightning and of thunder
You reach, you climb
Spread your wings and fly
Your Battle's just begun
This incantation weaves a spell
And puts you under
Too late to make the great escape
And score the plunder
Are we defined
Greater than the sum
Of battles lost and won?
Tidal waves and hurricanes
From whispers of thread
Natural born survivors
We perform and duet
Cinderellas all
We scorn the ball and yet
It plays that old refrain and soon
We're dancing to its beat again
Slaves to our devotions
We are marionettes
Love makes us remember things
We'd rather forget
That which makes us who we are
Don't ever regret
The skies electrify
The air is full of wonder
Of dreams, realities
Of lightning and of thunder
You reach, you climb
Spread your wings and fly
Your Battle's just begun
This incantation weaves a spell
And puts you under
Too late to make the great escape
And score the plunder
Are we defined
Greater than the sum
Of battles lost and won?
The skies electrify
The air is full of wonder
Of dreams, realities
Of lightning and of thunder
You reach, you climb
Spread your wings and fly
Your Battle's just begun
This incantation weaves a spell
And puts you under
Too late to make the great escape
And score the plunder
Are we defined
Greater than the sum
Of battles lost and won?
(The skies electrify)
(The air is full of wonder)
(Of dreams, realities)
(Of lightning and of thunder)
You reach, you climb
Spread your wings and fly
Your Battle's just begun

(And puts you under)
(Too late to make the great escape)
(And score the plunder)
