D Bm
In echoed steps I walked across an empty dream,
D C Bm
I looked across this world, there's no-one to be seen.
D Bm
This empty feeling turned and quietly walked away,
D G9
I saw no warmth in life - no love was in my eyes.
D Bm
I stared a century thinking this will never change,
D C Bm
As I hesitated time rushed onwards without me.
D Bm
Too scared to break the spell, too small to take a fall,
D G9 A9
But the Absolute luck is - love is in our hearts!
B B/A# G#m F#
I lost some hours thinking of it
B B/A# G#m F#

Hah!
D Bm
In echoed steps you walk across an empty dream
D C Bm
But look arond this world, there's millions to be seen.
D Bm
Come see the tyrants panic see their crumbling empires fall
D G9 A9
Then tell 'em we don't fight for fools - 'cos love is our hearts!
