[Intro]
We do our best
We stay in step
As time goes marching by
But there's something wrong
We don't start living
Until we almost die

[Chorus]
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
And the universe listens

[Verse 1]
Well, I was born a silver thorn
On a Midwest rose
I found out fast love is last
And it comes and goes
I made a deal, hearts to steal
They will know my name
I'll pay the price, any price
Just give me the fame

[Chorus]
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
And the universe listened
[Verse 2]
A perfect song, my love is wrong
So I ate the dark
A hero's clothes, the story goes on
But I hate the part
I chose to fall, destroy it all
But I will rise again
I believe in love, please send me love
And I will try again

[Chorus]
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
And the universe listened
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
And the universe listened

[Verse 3]
Remove the dark, heal my heart
Make my body whole
I found my angels, found my spirit
Guess I found my soul
Teach me how, show me now
This light has taken me
I'm not ashamed, help me explain
This awakening
[Chorus]
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
And the universe listened
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
And the universe listened

[Post-Chorus]
Oh yeah
