Lyrics

Gloria

Demons on my shoulder
Monsters in my head
Shadow in the water
Will you be my friend?
The world revolves around me
As I lay in my bed
Dreaming of more, more
Be yourself so loud tonight (mmm, so loud)
They'll hear you from the stars (they will hear you from)
Sparkling like dynamite (sparkle)
If that is who you are (it's who you are)
A hymn for Gloria, Gloria (for Gloria)
Gloria, Gloria
Gloria, Gloria
It's all but a hymn for Gloria (it's all a hymn for Glori-Glori-, Gloria)
It's all but a hymn for Gloria (it's for Gloria)
