If you want a little advice
Well then, let’s just make it clear
Forget all that’s been said and told
Just hold onto what’s most dear
So let me tell you something
You’re not really tied by the constraints of time
What you have to do is bend it to your will
And proudly declare “This is mine!”
Challenge anyone who dares
To try to dominate themselves over you
‘Cause you are your own authority
No one can tell you what you’re to do
There are some people out there
Living off the scraps of the past
And they’re barely surviving
Because the times are going too fast
There’s little else I got to say
But try your best to do what’s right
Don’t worry about what others may tell
Just try to make it through the night

Beyond The Stars (Right Past Dawn)
I woke up in a world I didn’t know
Everything seemed fast, everything went slow
So I closed my eyes and sat there
Trying to discern through the doubt
What’s it all about?
The world kept on spinning and spinning
And the sun was no longer shining
Nothing seemed like what it was to be
Like I was on some marry-go-round
But I was only earthbound
So I went down to the marketplace
I tried to find her sweet, pretty face
And I wanted to buy back my soul
However I wasn’t so lucky
I was on a shattered sea
I looked through the looking glass
And all I saw was a shattered past
Then I turned, walked the other way
There’d be no more throwing stones
Discard that broken throne
Taking flight on eagle’s wings up high
Far beyond the land above the great Skye
I’ll find what I’ll need someday soon
Until then I’ll keep travelling on
Beyond the stars, right past dawn
Everything seemed fast, everything went slow
So I closed my eyes and sat there
Trying to discern through the doubt
What’s it all about?
The world kept on spinning and spinning
And the sun was no longer shining
Nothing seemed like what it was to be
Like I was on some marry-go-round
But I was only earthbound
So I went down to the marketplace
I tried to find her sweet, pretty face
And I wanted to buy back my soul
However I wasn’t so lucky
I was on a shattered sea
I looked through the looking glass
And all I saw was a shattered past
Then I turned, walked the other way
There’d be no more throwing stones
Discard that broken throne
Taking flight on eagle’s wings up high
Far beyond the land above the great Skye
I’ll find what I’ll need someday soon
Until then I’ll keep travelling on
Beyond the stars, right past dawn
