Bilingual
Staking the night-
Surfing the minute-
Sailing the soul-
Now to believe it
No more waiting in the cold
Blink of an eye-
Son of the city-
Over the wall and past the committee
I don't look behind no more
A lone rider on the ridge
Strikes the match to burn the bridge
Not too far
But still got a ways to go
To stay would be a shame
Some are sly and some are sleek
Some have wile but cannot speak
Summer skies to swallow me
Turn on a dime-
Cut thru the willing-
Under the stars you wait for me-
You wait for me to show you the way
Sing for yourself-
Cut thru the limit-
Once I was lost-
Now I am in it
As I forge the resume
A lone rider on the ridge
Strikes the match to burn the bridge
Not too far
But still got a ways to go
To stay would be a shame
Some are sly and some are sleek
Some have wile but cannot speak
Summer skies to swallow me
And I'll be there-
I'll be there-
I'll be there-
