How long have I got 'til common days become legend'
How long have I got 'til this dream of life becomes Heaven'
Oh, life passed too fast; it's hard to know it won't last forever.

How long have I got before passion gives up it's fire'
And how long have I got before time strangles desire'
Oh, my fear is to leave here, never having really arrived.

Who can hear my beating heart pounding so, wanting more'
Who can hear my beating heart pounding on the door'

How long have I got to make mistakes and be wiser'
And how long have I got to learn to be less of a liar'
Oh, to face my best try, I know I need someone who is higher.

Who can hear my beating heart pounding so, wanting more'
Who can hear my beating heart pounding on the door'

How long have I got to answer a higher calling'
And how long have I got to walk the line without falling'
Oh, needing meaning, wanting to know just what I'm here for.

Who can hear my beating heart pounding so, wanting more'
Who can hear my beating heart pounding on the door'
