Won't you take me back to school
I need to learn the golden rule
Won't you lay it on the line
I need to hear it just one more time
Oh, oh, won't you tell me again
Oh, oh, can you feel it?
Oh, oh, won't you tell me again, tonight

Each and every heart it seems
Is bounded by a world of dreams
Each and every rising sun
Is greeted by a lonely one
Oh, oh, won't you tell me again
Oh, oh, can you feel it?
Oh, oh, won't you tell me again, tonight
Tonight

'Cause out on the ocean of life my love
There's so many storms we must rise above
Can you hear the spirit calling
As it's carried across the waves?
You're already falling
It's calling you back to face the music
And the song that is coming through
You're already falling
The one that it's calling is you

Make a promise, take a vow
And trust your feelings it's easy now
Understand the voice within
And feel the change already beginning
Oh, oh, won't you tell me again
Oh, oh, can you feel it?
Oh, oh, won't you tell me again, tonight

Oh, oh, won't you tell me again
Oh, oh, can you feel it?
Oh, oh, won't you tell me again, tonight
Tonight

And how many words have I got to say?
And how many times will it be this way?
With your arms around the future
And your back up against the past
You're already falling 
It's calling you on to face the music
And the song that is coming through
You're already falling
The one that it's calling is you

Each and every heart it seems
Is bounded by a world of dreams
And each and every rising sun
Is greeted by a lonely, lonely one
Won't you tell me again
Oh, oh, can you feel it?
Oh, oh, won't you tell me again, tonight

Oh, oh, won't you tell me again
Oh, oh, can you feel it?
Oh, oh, won't you tell me again, tonight
Tonight
Oh, oh, can you feel it, tonight?
Oh, oh, won't you tell me again, tonight?
