we are like wishful stars bathing in sunlight
dwelling in palaces, floating on thin air
inspired by faith and will we weave the fabric
our small lives and our big plans are made of
a baseless vision of revels unending
is driving us down the unlighted pathway

don’t let it end here, don’t let it all slip away
we are floating in the air
don’t leave us right now, we are such stuff,
the fragile stuff that dreams are made on

and I remember now we were immortal
lovers and heroes if only for a while
grew up with confidence that there’s a big plan
behind the universe and the wheel of chance
the gilded monuments, the cloud-capped towers
all we hold dear will dissolve and disappear

don’t let it end here, don’t let it all slip away
we are floating in the air
don’t leave us right now, we are such stuff,
the fragile stuff that dreams are made on
