if something came your way
certain to be lost someday
like flesh and bone to clay
but something that would take your breath away
would you still let your heart take fire?
let your head go up in flames?
would you still let your heart take fire?
of course you would, you're everyman
you try to hold things no one can
you make a lot of noise
in your tinkerbell disguise
as if that fairy poise
protected you from saying your goodbyes
but you still let your heart take fire
let your head go up in flames
yeah you still let your heart take fire
of course you do you're everyman
you try to hold things no one can
of course you do your everyman
you think you know but you don't understand.
God help everyman
you think you understand.
