My first small steps
Along your thousand paths
Reaching for the light beneath the trees
No hand to hold to stay on my feet
Like a tadpole swimming up stream
It's not what you do
It's who you are
I'll give you my heart
You can take my soul
My words, my truth, my life
Are in your control
In this shallow world we live in
It's not always the best that climb
Just trying to be in the right place
Doing what I love at the right time
For every smile there's twice as many tears
Scars and wounds I keep as souvenirs
It's not what you do
Ooh It's who you are
I'll give you my heart
You can take my soul
My words, my truth, my life
Are in your control
I'll give you my heart
You can take my soul
My words, my truth, my life
Are in your control
Dreams come true
So why not me
One of the lucky ones
For all the world to see
Replace street lights for spot lights
And cobbles for carpets
And benches to a mass of smiles
Oh now the pavement is my stage
One dream, one life, one chance
Is all I need
I'll give you my heart
You can take my soul
My words, my truth, my life
Are in your control
I'll give you my heart
You can take my soul
My words, my truth, my life
Are in your control
I'll give you my heart
You can take my soul
