Lyrics

Just a day
Just an ordinary day
Just tryin' to get by
Just a boy
Just an ordinary boy
But he was lookin' to the sky
And as he asked if I would come along
I started to realize
That everyday he finds
Just what he's lookin' for
Like a shooting star he shines

And he said
Take my hand
Live while you can
Don't you feel the dreams are right in the palm of your hand

And as he spoke, he spoke ordinary words
Although they did not feel, no
For I felt what I had not felt before
You'd swear those words couldn't heal
And as I looked up into those eyes
His vision borrows mine
And to know he's no stranger
For I feel I've held him for all of time

And he said
Take my hand
Live while you can
Don't you feel the the dreams are right in the palm of your hand
In the palm of your hand

Please come with me
See what I see
Touch the stars for time will not flee
Time will not flee
Can you see

Just a dream, just an ordinary dream
As I wake in bed
And the boy
That ordinary boy
Or was it all in my head?
Did he ask if I would come along
It all seemed so real
But as I looked to the door
I saw that boy standin' there with a deal

And he said
Take my hand
Live while you can
Don't you feel the dreams are right in the palm of your hand
In the palm of your hand
In the palm of your hand

Just a day, just an ordinary day
Just tryin' to get by

Just a boy
Just an ordinary boy
But he was lookin' to the sky
