(guitar simile) 
Took my chances on a big jet plane. 
Never let 'em tell you that they're all the same. 
Sea was red and the sky was grey. 
Wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today. 
The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake. 
The children of the sun begin to wake.

VERSE: 
To find a queen without a king; 
They say she plays guitar and cries and sings. 
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn 
Trying to find a woman who's never been born. 
Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,  
Telling myself it's not as hard as it seems.
