Some men strive for power and its glory While others dream a sweet place in the sun Desperately we write our fading story One of hope and dreams with faith For the things to come On a cosmic ride Strap yourself in tight Pray to God that time is on your side On the cosmic ride Find the meaning of life May all your doors and windows be open wide Take one more chance, learn how to surrender Make choices when there is no choice at all Find your strength in the wish For something better Something better then anything That's ever been before On a cosmic ride Strap yourself in tight Pray to God that time is on your side On the cosmic ride Find the meaning of life May all your doors and windows be open wide Here we are in the great unknown Trying to understand what's comin' down Flying blind in the twilight zone Wondering where it is we're headed now Hold on to the end We may not be here again And the now is all we've got to live and die On a cosmic ride Strap yourself in tight Pray to God that time is on your side On the cosmic ride Find the meaning of life May all your doors and windows be open wide
