Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Now I let go

Everything that I've known

Let it go on, let it roll out

With the tide

I can't think of a thing

That hasn't been shot through with pain

Like a nightingale's

Song in the dead of the night

[Chorus]

Goodbye, so long, farewell, all I've been

Ooh, oblivion

Throw me in the ocean

Ooh, see if I can swim

I'm wild again, I'm a starchild again

I've come ten million miles, ooh, I'm burning

I'm a summer dream, I'm a real light beam, I'm worthy

Of all the goodness and the love that the world's gonna give to me

I'ma give it back ten times, people, are you ready?

If you think you're alone, hold on, I'm coming

[Instrumental]

Now I unfold

Every lie I was told

Watch 'em wither, watch 'em scatter

With the wind

I can't think of a thing

That hasn't been born of a dream

Like a love supreme

Like a circle unbroken

[Chorus]

Goodbye, so long, farewell, all I've been

Ooh, oblivion

Throw me in the ocean

Ooh, Mama, watch me swim

I'm wild again, I'm a starchild again

I've come ten million miles, ooh, I'm burning

I'm a summer dream, I'm a real light beam, I'm worthy

Of all the goodness and the love that the world's gonna give to me

I'ma give it back ten times, people, are you ready?

If you think you're alone, hold on, I'm coming

[Outro]

Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know you are never alone?
