Words

It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
It's no secret that our world is in darkness tonight
They the sun is sometimes, eclipsed by a moon
You know i don't see you when she walks in the room

It's no secret that a friend is someone who lets you help
It's no secret that a liar won't believe anyone else
They say a secret is somethingyou tell one another person
So I'm telling you... child

LOW VOICE GOSPEL VOICE

A will rise Love. We shine like a
A man will crawl Burning star
On the sheer face of love We're falling from
Like a fly from a wall The sky... tonight
It's no secret at all

It's no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest
It's no secret ambition bites the nails os success
Every artist is a cannibal every poet is a thief
All kill therir inspiration and sing about the grief

LOW VOICE GOSPEL VOICE

A will rise Love. We shine like a
A man will crawl Burning star
On the sheer face of love We're falling from
Like a fly from a wall The sky... tonight
It's no secret at all

Oh yeah

It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
The universe exploding 'cosa one man's lie
Look I gotta go
Yeah i'm running outta change
There's a lot of things
If I could I'd rearrange
