If I could start from the beginning
Given the opportunity to go back to the very start
Create the oceans and the cities
To have the power to form the vast bodies of water and bustling metropolises
Light the sky with a million lights
To brighten up the darkness with an abundance of shining stars
Illuminate the darkest nights
To light up the evenings that seem most hopeless
The moon will rise and the sun will fall
The natural flow of day and night will carry on as usual
Onto the beat of our favorite songs
As our favorite melodies play on in the background
We'd be the king and queen of this never ending dream
The ones in charge of our eternal fantasy world
If we could start from the beginning
If we could be given the chance to start it all over again
