Performed by Heather Small   Written by Heather Small and Peter Vettese   Produced by Peter Vettese   Published by BMG Music / EMI Music Publishing   Engineered and Mixed by Mark Evans   Keyboards and Programming by Peter Vettese and Mark Evans   Strings arranged by Simon Hale      The pace is fast and the stakes are high   The game of life, yes we play this all the time   Don't take for granted all we had   Maybe we have come too far   Maybe a time for less, not more   I dare you to dance in the rain   And watch the sun rise today      Higher and higher in a rainbow sky   All the stars at night   Everybody sing   Nearer and nearer to the heart of everything   Once a voice unheard, now I hear every word   Of the days and nights we spent in the Garden of Eden      We start the race so full of hope   And then we find we've lost all sense of soul   Are we past the point of no return   We live a life of want, not need   Let's live a life of pride, not greed   I dare you to dance in te rain   And watch the sun rise today      Higher and higher in a rainbow sky   All the stars at night   Everybody sing   Nearer and nearer to the heart of everything   Once a voice unheard, now I hear every word   Of the days and nights we spent in the Garden of Eden      In the Garden of Eden      Higher and higher in a rainbow sky   All the stars at night   Everybody sing   Nearer and nearer to the heart of everything      Higher and higher in a rainbow sky   All the stars at night   Everybody sing   Nearer and nearer to the heart of everything   Once a voice unheard, now I hear every word   Of the days and nights we spent in the Garden of Eden      Take me higher   Bring me nearer   Take me higher   Bring me nearer and nearer      Take me higher   Bring me nearer   Take me higher   Bring me nearer   To the Garden   The Garden of Eden
