(c) 1997 Entwistle, Luongo, Townsend & Levi A million miles away seems like only yesterday My soul was free I was young without a care there was something in the air Simplicity I've lost what once was mine to the greedy hands of time Now I'm afraid As I start to realize something's missing in my eyes My life is gray And everyday reality gets stronger Don't turn your back it won't disappear Seize the day, seize the night, face the fear It's gets very hard to tell if the ocean in the shell Is what it seems Get your head out of the sand take your life in both your hands And live your dreams The rainbow in your tears points the way through all your years Of sleepless nights The sun still shines above the clouds and as long as you know how You'll see the light Don't listen to the ocean in a seashell The waves inside are not what they appear Seize the day, seize the night, face the fear Cause everyday reality gets stronger Don't turn your back it won't disappear Seize the day, seize the night, face the fear
