If you want to be brave   And reach for the top of the sky   And the farthest point on the horizon   Do you know who you'll meet there   Great soldiers and seafarers   Artists and dreamers   Who need to be close, close to the light   They need to be in danger of burning by fire   And I, I want to get there   I, I want to be one   One who is touched by the sun   One who is touched by the sun      Often I want to walk   The safe side of the street   And lull myself to sleep   And dull my pain      But deep down inside I know   I've got to learn from the greats   Earn my right to be living   Let my wings of desire   Soar over the night      I need to let them say   "She must have been mad"   And I, I want to get there   I, I want to be one   One who is touched by the sun   One who is touched by the sun      I've got to learn from the greats   Earn my right to be living   With every breath that I take   Every heartbeat   And I, I want to get there   I, I want to be one   One who is touched by the sun   One who is touched by the sun
