I know I got lucky
But now I wanna earn it
And prove that I deserve it in a way
I watched my life preserver float away
The moon was on the water in the lake
Now I can't go back home
My parents’ house is burning
In a dream I saw it burning
A Ferris wheel was turning in the rain
And anything could happen in my brain

Great, great unknown
Tonight we have to face it
But we know we're not alone
I put my arms in the air
And I swear that I never saw it shining
Until it was almost gone
Don't believe what they tell ya
Go see it on your own

I know that you’re with me
I could feel you moving
We always keep on moving place to place
Perpetually losing every race
But tonight is our night
This rose is finally blooming
And I'm feeling really human once again
The heart sends feeling zooming through the veins
And the future's open like Midwestern plains

Great, great unknown
Tonight we try to find it
With guitars and microphones
I put my arms in the air
And I swear that I never saw it shining
Until it was almost gone
Don't believe what they tell ya
Go see it on your own
