You're a dancer But you're dancing on air Just a matter of time till you fall You're a dreamer, one night at the fair But still you want it all You're in danger, the last of a line But the vision lasts forever So just hold on You can make it happen for you Reach for the stars and you will fly You're hungry for heaven Hungry for heaven Hungry for heaven But you need a little hell, oh You're a runner But you're chasing yourself Feel the hot breath on your shoulder Your emotion running cold, running warm The young just getting older We are sunlight We can sparkle and shine And our dreams are what we're made of, oh Just hold on You can make it happen for you Reach for the stars and you will fly You're hungry for heaven Hungry for heaven Hungry for heaven But you need a little hell, oh, hungry You're hungry for heaven Hungry for heaven Hungry for heaven Hungry for heaven You're hungry for heaven, oh Hungry for heaven So hungry for heaven You're hungry for heaven You're a dancer But you're dancing on air You're a dreamer, one night at the fair You're hungry, hungry there for heaven, oh You're a runner in the night Just a dreamer but that's alright You're hungry, hungry for heaven, oh Hungry, hungry for heaven Hungry for heaven Hungry for heaven
