We do our bestWe stay in stepAs time goes marching byBut There's something wrongWe don't start livingUntil we almost dieOh, yeah, yeah, yeahAnd the universe listensWell I was bornA silver thornOn a Midwest roseI found out fastLove is lastAnd it comes and goesI made a dealHearts to stealThey will know my nameI'll pay the price, any priceJust give me the fameOh, yeah, yeah, yeahAnd the universe listenedA perfect songMy love is wrongSo I ate the darkA hero's clothesThe story goes onBut I hate the partI chose to fallDestroy it allBut I will rise againI believe in lovePlease send me loveAnd I will try againOh, yeah, yeah, yeahAnd the universe listenedOh, yeah, yeah, yeahAnd the universe listenedRemove the darkHeal my heartMake my body wholeI found my angelsFound my spiritGuess I found my soulTeach me howShow me nowThis light has taken meI'm not ashamedHelp me explainThis awakeningOh, yeah, yeah, yeahAnd the universe listened
