In a heartbeat fortunes are won - oh
In a heartbeat worlds collide 
I've been told if wishes were horses
In a heartbeat beggars would ride

From a steam bed carved a canyon
Footsteps promise to grow into miles
From an arrow an empire begun - oh
First is to stand up and then is to run

Where is the symmetry that I have dreamed bout?
Said to be waiting is the beauty on a distant shore
Idea to moon walking yet people do without
All what for?

Bright star spinning feeding all living things
Eyes holding laughter so soon after tears
Atom splitting harness the universe
Tree falling over does anyone hear?

Earth tone skin writes pages of history
One shot fires reaches everyone's ears
Jubilations replacing the misery
One holding nothing another held dear
