Special Things Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Special things from far away
Far beyond the dream
It was not so long ago
Out of reach they seemed
They're closer, I can see them passing through
They cannot stay
Take from it what is needed
What it costs is what you pay

[Chorus]
Everything your life is for
Are the things you will endure
Everything your life is for
Are the very things you are, you are
You are
You are, you are, you are

[Verse 2]
Special things from far away
I've thought them, time to see them now
Life is motion, not display
Even special things leave somehow

[Chorus]
Everything your life is for
Are the things you will endure
Everything your life is for
Are the very things you are, you are
You are
You are, you are, you are
[Bridge]
It's important at the time
You created in your mind
But your heart will come to see
What you want may not be what you need

[Outro]
Everything your life is for
Are the things you will endure
Everything your life is for
Are the very things you are
Everything your life is for
Are the things you will endure
Everything your life is for
Are the very things you are
Everything your life is for
Are the things you will endure

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
