«Joaquin» von Kris Allen
You got no reason to be scared
Of all those monsters in your head
They help you show us all how to dream
Up on the screen
Joaquin
Who put those worries on your mind
Who’d be so careless and unkind
What is the use in trying to swim downstream
If it just ain’t your scene
Joaquin
I can see your light, your light, your light, your light
Is like a candle
Throwing shadows
Dancing as the wind blows
Seems to me you might, you might, you might, you might
Be on to something
That only heaven knows
Who is to say we’re not all crazy
If I were you I wouldn’t let it phase me
With all of your passion, hope, and empathy
Bursting your seams
Joaquin
I can see your light, your light, your light, your light
Is like a candle
Throwing shadows
Dancing as the wind blows
Seems to me you might, you might, you might, you might
Be on to something
That only heaven knows
Only heavens knows
I can see your light, your light, your light, your light
Is like a candle
Throwing shadows
Dancing as the wind blows
Seems to me you might, you might, you might, you might
Be on to something
That only heaven knows
