Only a Heartbeat

There's a million ways and gloried days to take your breath away

But you can't see what's taking place

All you know is that the sun will set and the sun will rise

And everything will be alright

There's a cry in the dark and it comes from way across the world tonight

It's the sound of a drum that beats alone and knows what is right

And from Tiananmen to Timisoara

Across this land

(And they took the wall away) And they took the wall away

You see step by step it came down again

A chain reaction, a solemn vow

Who in the world can stop this now?

Lift your head to a new day okay

Dawn of the start of a whole new way

Hold on to the meaning of the word

And when you know it's only gonna be a question of morality

It's only a heartbeat away

You can call for justice, we're free to be a part

And they lip service to it all

Cause you see that half the world is overcome

The other half is deaf is dumb

Now you will hear them call

(And they took the wall away) And they took the wall away

You see brick by brick it came down again

A chain reaction, a solemn vow

Who in the world can stop this now?

Lift your head to a new day okay

Dawn of the start of a whole new way

Hold on to the meaning of the word

And when you know it's only gonna be a question of morality

It's only a heartbeat away (only a heartbeat away)

Hold on to your home

And say oh-woah-woah-woah (you-lay-lay-lay)

Lift your head and there's a brand new day

It's only a heartbeat away

So don't sacrify the great divide

We are here to testify

Lift your head to a new day okay

Dawn of the start of a whole new way

Hold on to the meaning of the word (hold on to the meaning of the word)

And when you know it's only gonna be a question of morality

It's only a heartbeat away (only a heartbeat away)

Hold on to your home

And say oh-woah-woah-woah (you-lay-lay-lay)

Lift your head and face the day

It's only a heartbeat away (oh, yeah)

Lift your head to a new day okay

Dawn of the start of a another cool way

Hold on to the meaning of the word (hold on to the meaning of the word)

And when you know it's only gonna be a question of morality

It's only a heartbeat away (only a heartbeat away)

Hold on to your home

And say oh-woah-woah-woah (you-lay-lay-lay)

Lift your head and there's a brand new day

It's only a heartbeat away (oh, yeah)
