Lyrics

I am the cavalry captain I am the remedy to your heart I am the common collective I am imprinted upon your stars And when you shine Shine your eyes Looking lost Looking bright We'll away on the light brigade And if only for a second If only for a time And if only for a second And if only for a time We'll be alive We'll be alive I am the cavalry captain I am the remedy to your heart I am the common collective I am imprinted upon your stars There is a world There is a time Looking calm Looking kind We'll away at the break of day And if only for a second And of only for a time And if only for a second And if only for a time We'll be alive We'll be alive I am the cavalry captain I am the remedy to your heart I am the common collective I am imprinted upon your stars
