This Is Your Life Lyrics
Dio
Lyrics
Who cares what came before?
We were only starlight
One day then nevermore
Because we're whispers in the wind
Once upon a time
The world was never blind
Like we are
Right now it seems
You're only dreams and shadows
If wishes could be eagles
How you'd fly
This is your life
This is your time
What if the flame won't last forever
This is your here
This is your now
Let it be magical
Who cares what came before?
We're only starlight
Once upon the time
All the world was blind
Like we are
This is your life
This is your time
Look at your world
This is your life
