Prologue (20's rap)
It was raining when I met you. You were soaking wet,
No time to be impressed, and I remember so much later
On, I knew that you were someone I would not forget.
Everybody's searching, hungry for the glamour, you
Know too many hearts are in a rush. No matter how you
Try to, you can't explain the places you find love.
I can't explain it, but I can feel it all around me.
The need to find the place where the feeling can be
Safe. It's not money that buys happiness. No, it's not
The shine of silver that puts the heart to rest.
Everybody's pushing, the clock is always running, and no
One ever seems to have enough. And when you least expect
Tt, you come upon the places you find love. Love, love,
remember...
In a flash, the feeling can hit you after all the times
That it's missed you, reaching deep inside to find your
Secret heart, yeah yeah. Look around, you'll notice
You're flying, and for once, you're not even trying, city
Lights below you like a million tiny stars, oh yeah.
It's a river never stopping, winding in and out, but you
Should never doubt. It will lead you to the ocean someday.
There's no way to fight it, let it carry you away.
Everybody's dreaming, waiting for the feeling, that moment
When they finally rise above. But it's always in the giving
That gets you to the place you find love. Love, remember...

In the poorest part of town, where the sun never reaches the
Ground, and seeing's not believing, the feeling stays alive,
Yeah yeah. Little children laughing and playing 'cause they
Haven't learned to start hating. Never give up, no 'cause
They still believe in love, sweet love.
Love. Love. Love. Love. Love, remember...
In a flash, the feeling can hit you after all the times
That it's missed you, reaching deep inside to find your
Secret heart, yeah yeah. Look around, you'll notice
You're flying, and for once, you're not even trying, city
Lights below you like a million tiny stars, oh yeah.
