Across the world tonight, there are ships of light shining down on everyone From the darkest shores to marble corridors, a new age has begun I've got no explanation how those ships came to be there Illuminating the nations everywhere Across the world tonight, there's a wondrous sight And we gaze with childlike eyes We can only guess as we hold our breath Where the future lies Something beautiful's coming Somehow I know they're beyond the dawn We've been left in the darkness for too long And tomorrow when we rise, we'll see with other eyes And know at last that we belong We'll reach up to the skies and find the answers there That we've been searching for so long Across the world tonight Across the world tonight, around the firelight The stories have begun How it came to be, this night of mystery Of wonders yet to come I've got no explanation how those ships came to be there Illuminating the nations everywhere Something beautiful's coming Somehow I know they're beyond the dawn We've been left in the darkness for too long And tomorrow when we rise, we'll see with other eyes And know at last that we belong We'll reach up to the skies and find the answers there That we've been searching for so long Across the world tonight And tomorrow when we rise, we'll see with other eyes And tomorrow when we rise, we'll see with other eyes And know at last that we belong We'll reach up to the skies and find the answers there That we've been searching for so long Across the world tonight The time has come We'll see with other eyes And find the answers there Across the world tonight And tomorrow when we rise, we'll see with other eyes And know at last that we belong We'll reach up to the skies and find the answers there That we've been searching for so long Across the world tonight
