Center of the Universe Lyrics
[Verse 1: Roy Khan]
Move slowly
Beyond the colors of my eyes
Move slowly
Into the corners of my mind
Rising like the pegasus
Each and every one of us released
Islands in the sea of dreams
Always searching harmony and peace
[Pre-Chorus 1: Roy Khan]
All we find
Reject our mind
Don't you wonder why
[Chorus: Roy Khan]
If the war by Heaven's gate released desire
In the line of fire someone must have known
That a human heart demands to be admired
'Cause in the center of the Universe
We are all alone
[Verse 2: Roy Khan]
Show me sign of paradise
A place we all would like to go to
Tell me what to sacrifice
So there's a chance for me to want you
Move slowly
Beyond the colors of my eyes
Move slowly
Into the corners of my mind
Rising like the pegasus
Each and every one of us released
Islands in the sea of dreams
Always searching harmony and peace
[Pre-Chorus 1: Roy Khan]
All we find
Reject our mind
Don't you wonder why
[Chorus: Roy Khan]
If the war by Heaven's gate released desire
In the line of fire someone must have known
That a human heart demands to be admired
'Cause in the center of the Universe
We are all alone
[Verse 2: Roy Khan]
Show me sign of paradise
A place we all would like to go to
Tell me what to sacrifice
So there's a chance for me to want you
[Pre-Chorus 2: Roy Khan]
All I find
Reject my mind
And I wonder why
[Chorus: Roy Khan]
If the war by Heaven's gate released desire
In the line of fire someone must have known
That a human heart demands to be admired
'Cause in the center of the Universe
We are all alone
[Bridge: Roy Khan, Mari Youngblood]
I have a tale to be told won't you listen tonight
Follow me into the core of the fountain of light
Try to imagine that hope is our ship for the soul
(Over the ocean the quest of your life lies ahead)
Maybe together we'll find there's a place for us all
(Follow the star in your mind, sail along sail along)
[Chorus: Roy Khan]
If the war by Heaven's gate released desire
In the line of fire someone must have known
That a human heart demands to be admired
'Cause in the Center of the Universe
We are all alone
All I find
Reject my mind
And I wonder why
[Chorus: Roy Khan]
If the war by Heaven's gate released desire
In the line of fire someone must have known
That a human heart demands to be admired
'Cause in the center of the Universe
We are all alone
[Bridge: Roy Khan, Mari Youngblood]
I have a tale to be told won't you listen tonight
Follow me into the core of the fountain of light
Try to imagine that hope is our ship for the soul
(Over the ocean the quest of your life lies ahead)
Maybe together we'll find there's a place for us all
(Follow the star in your mind, sail along sail along)
[Chorus: Roy Khan]
If the war by Heaven's gate released desire
In the line of fire someone must have known
That a human heart demands to be admired
'Cause in the Center of the Universe
We are all alone
