Lyrics

The Chosen One

[Verse 1]

Gold and silver walk the main street

The chosen one

Sons and lovers learn to suffer

Born in shadow where we first meet

The chosen one

Dreams that money cannot offer

[Verse 2]

Swollen river I've been thinking

The chosen one

Words of passion and sorrow

Make believing is the real thing

The chosen one

Here today or gone tomorrow

[Bridge]

Here today

Gone tomorrow

[Verse 3]

April fever is no stranger

The chosen one

Night and morning in my shadow

World of pleasure and danger

The chosen one

Take my spirit, I must follow

[Outro]

Take my spirit

Take my spirit
