<pre>Once upon a time, there was a little young boy
<pre>Once upon a time, there was a little young boy
He was walking, along the road like a stranger
He was walking, along the road like stranger
Dreaming one day he'll be a great man
Dreaming one day he'd be a big man
He keeps trying, try and reach for the sky
He'll keep trying, try and reach for the sky


He gets lost more than he tries, why oh why
He gets lost the more that he tries, why oh why
He feels all the pain, why oh why
He feels all the pain, why oh why
'Cause the baby's cry when is future he'll learn more
'Cause the babies cry when there's few to feed the world


He gets lost more than he tries, why oh why
He gets lost the more that he tries, why oh why
He feels all the pain, why oh why
He feels all the pain, why oh why
'Cause a woman still loves says when she's in my heart</pre>
'Cause a woman's still up safe when she's filled with love</pre>
 
=== Long Version ===
{{hide text|<pre>Endless nights
Will almost fade away
Whole new sky
I'm ready to go higher
 
In your universe
I sparkle
You hve shown me
what it means to be
 
♡  I'm a prince on a star
  that only shines
  when you look at me
  I hope you notice my light
  Cuz for you I burn my soul
 
You reflect like a mirror
The good inside me
Am I worth to do
The same for you?
 
Now I stand
On top of my fate
Just to street it
Towards wherever you are
 
 
♡♡ I'm a prince on a star
  As long as you
  Make me be one
  It's your call to overthrow me
  But princess
  You're too sweet for that
 
If I see you
Drown in darkness
I will flash
To burn the shadows away

{{hide text|<pre>なんだか切ない夜には
そばにいて 髪を撫でながら
 
まっさらな空に
二人の星座 描くの
 
なぜだか眠れぬ夜には
聞かせてよ 夢物語を
 
ヒツジを数えて
朝陽 迎えないように
 
どんなお願いも
どうか叶えてね
でなきゃ魔法かけて
月に帰るわ
 
きらめく流れ星にだって
いつの日か終わりってくるのかな?
 
あなたの瞳が
答えを映し出してる
 
"いつも いつの日も
僕がいる限り
君を照らすのさ
誰より強く"
 
気付いているのよ
あなたは星の王子さま
 
何億光年も越えて
逢いに来て
光のスピードで
雲を突き抜け
 
この広い宇宙で
二人ここにいる
あの日出逢ったのは
運命なのね</pre>}}

=== DanceDanceRevolution ===
This is a refreshing UK pop soul song which feels appropiate in the UK dance charts.<br>
The clear vocals, refreshing and simple distorted guitars, create an extremely nice British rock sound complemented by a mute guitar-styled chorus, and various acid analog sounds.
