Songs the Night Sings

[Verse 1]

I used to wish and wonder every day

Close my eyes and see where it would take me

I'd get lost in my dreams when I was a girl, was a child

Restless heart and mind still open wide

Running careless under clear and blue skies

Even then, I did know that one day, I would

[Pre-Chorus]

Walk away from the ones who'd enslave me

Every pain, every soul who would stain me

Leave behind little town where I once swore

"I will never die here"

Through the forest of green, I will wander

Underneath starry skies, I will slumber

I will climb every hill, every mountain

Till I've seen them all

[Chorus]

I wanna live the stories I write

See the whole world with my own eyes

Take the unknown trail

And hear the songs the night sings

I wanna feel the flame when it burns

Wanna feel the pain when it hurts

Take the unknown trail

And hear the songs the night sings

[Verse 2]

And now that I've seen just a little, not a lot

But I know who I am and who I am not

I could weep for the ones who stumble through life like they're lost

Heedless hearts and eyes that must be blind

Living joyless under pale and grey skies

I just want them to know that right now, they could

[Pre-Chorus]

Board the ship, hoist the sail, weigh the anchor

Set a course right towards the horizon

We can sail every sea, every ocean

Till we've seen them all

[Chorus]

I wanna live the stories I write

See the whole world with my own eyes

Take the unknown trail

And hear the songs the night sings

I wanna feel the flame when it burns

Wanna feel the pain when it hurts

Take the unknown trail

And hear the songs the night sings

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

I wanna live the stories I write

See the whole world with my own eyes

Take the unknown trail

And hear the songs the night sings

I wanna feel the flame when it burns

Wanna feel the pain when it hurts

Take the unknown trail

And hear the songs the night sings

I wanna live the stories I write

See the whole world with my own eyes

Take the unknown trail

And hear the songs the night sings

I wanna feel the flame when it burns

Wanna feel the pain when it hurts

Take the unknown trail

And hear the songs the night sings
