A Heartbeat Away
From and old and distant land
There came a brave young king
And he held within his hands
The keys to everything
He searched for gold and gathered treasure
To keep him warm and bring him pleasure
He built a tower and made it high
And hoped one day to reach the sky
Higher and higher and higher he climbed
Knowing time waits for no one
Leave the thought of redemption behind
Racing to meet the sun
Then one day he looked around
Saw he still stood on the ground
And all he ever needed was a heartbeat away
Always looking far ahead
eyes set on the prize
All the signs that were misread
would come as a surprise
It’s not too late to turn back now
find the path some way somehow
Of all the dreams you have dreamt of
All you ever need is love
Higher and higher and higher he climbed
Knowing time waits for no one
Leave the thought of redemption behind
Racing to meet the sun
Then one day he looked around
Saw he still stood on the ground
And all he ever needed was a heartbeat away
