I wanna call the stars down from the sky
I wanna live a day that never dies
I wanna change the world only for you
All the impossible I wanna do
I want to hold you close under the rain
I wanna kiss your smile
And feel the pain
I know it's beautiful looking at you
In a world of lies you are the true
[Chorus]
And baby everytime you touch me I become a hero
I'll make you safe no matter where you are
And give you everything you ask for nothing is above me
I am shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me
I wanna make a scene with who I was
Show you the loneliness and what it does
You walked into my life to stop my tears
Everything is easy now I have you here and baby
[Chorus]
In the world without you
I will always hunger
All I need is your love
To make me stronger
