Still

and Silent

Calm before the storm

Gold

and Diamond

Jewels behind the throne

Into the night

Out of the dark

Take to the sky

Chasing the stars

All that we said

All that we are

Waiting to fly

This is the start

Hide and seek

Reason and Rhyme

Grand and Glorious

Living the dream

Yours and mine

Euphoria

Grand and Glorious

Living the draem

Yours and mine

Euphoria

Stone and feather

Move outside your head

Now

or never

Strong in every step

Give me a sign

Hitting the mark

Take to the sky

Chasing the stars

Open your eyes

Watching afar

Waiting to fly

This is the start

Hide and seek

Reason and rhyme

Grand and glorious

Living the dream

Yours and mine

Euphoria
