The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
Say you to me You're a bird with an eye for anything shiny Searching the land for a hero of a man You say I need More than my fair share of attention But I think you know That just isn't so Oh underneath I felt the fire of a burning question Tearing me apart, Right from the very start. And now I see, That it don't take a trick Of the light to excite me. So Strong So Long You'll see Hold on to what you've been given lately. Hold on to what you know you've got. Hold on to what you've been given lately. Hold on 'cause the world will turn if you're ready or not. Simplicity, A heart of gold, an old head in young shoulders Quiet and lovely, Becoming part of me. And now I see from a handful of names and a thousand faces. One light burning Fiercely I was tired of January I was tired of June I felt a change a-coming oh oh I was tired of January Tired of June I felt a change a-coming oh oh I felt a change a-coming, I felt a change a-coming, I felt a change a-coming soon. Hold on to what you've been given lately. Hold on to what you know you've got. Hold on to what you've been given lately. Hold on 'cause the world will turn if you're ready or not. Hold on to what you've been given lately. Hold on to what you know you've got. Hold on to what you've been given lately. Hold on 'cause the world will turn if you're ready or not. Well the world will turn if you're ready or not Whoa-oh Yes the world will turn if you're ready or not.
