02 · A Thousand Lives Lyrics

The opening scene begins to play

And pulls me somewhere far away

I choose a path, the journey's mine

And lose all sense of passing time

I've been the thief, the mage, the knight

I've chosen mercy over might

I've stood where others chose to flee

And learned what courage asked of me

I've listened as they spoke about their past

And wished those peaceful hours could last

Some I could save, some slipped away

Their voices with me still today

And when the last adventure ends

I say goodbye to cherished friends

Their stories linger in my mind

Shaping the one who lives inside

I've lived a thousand other lives

Felt heartbreak, wonder, and surprise

I've fought for worlds that weren't my own

Yet in their stories, I found a home

With nothing but the words I read

New landscapes bloom inside my head

They say we only get one life

But I've lived a thousand other lives

A thousand lives

A thousand lives

One more world

One more time

A thousand

Thousand

Other lives

Live-live-lives

A thousand lives

I've laughed at jokes I'd never heard

And treasured every silly word

I've watched a clever twist unfold

And loved the way the tale was told

I've sailed through islands in the sky

Where silver rivers drifted by

I've questioned things I thought I knew

And found a different point of view

I've lived a thousand other lives

Felt heartbreak, wonder, and surprise

I've fought for worlds that weren't my own

Yet in their stories, I found a home

With nothing but the words I've read

New landscapes bloom inside my head

They say we only get one life

But I've lived a thousand other lives

The final scene, the credits roll

I sit, reluctant to let go

The screen goes dark, but still I stay

Not quite prepared to walk away

A thousand other lives

A thousand different skies

There's always one more world to see

A thousand lives

A thousand lives

Live-live-lives

A thousand lives

A thousand other lives

A thousand different skies

There's always one more world to see

Insatiable curiosity

One life was never quite enough

For all the worlds I've come to love
