 ## Lyrics

 __VERSE 1__

 Come best and come brightest from near and from far
 You, who've had it so good for so long, here you are:
 The guardians of art that is new and amazing
 It's a torch thats worth holding, 
 It's a trail that's worth blazing

 __PRE-CHORUS__

 But there's no fire that can't burn
 And there's no good that can't turn into bad 
 if you close your intelligent minds
 and if you're making this world smaller day by day,
 are we coming any closer or just turning away?

 __CHORUS__

 So i'd like us to close the gaps
 Between your world and my world 
 Between this part and that
 So I play in the gaps in between
 where we are now and realising the dream...

 __VERSE 2__

 The weak and the wanting are the first ones to go
 They're ones you see lost, but you choose not to know
 Because it doesn't concern you, they're not of your kind
 You've got your own thoughts and you know your own mind

 __PRE-CHORUS__

 And you might think you know so much
 You might think you've got it sussed
 But i once thought i knew as well
 Until it was my own who fell..
 But there is learning in looking back
 And we've all come this far so we're on the right track


 __CHORUS__

 So i'd like us to close the gaps
 Between your world and my world 
 Between this part and that
 So I play in the gaps in between
 From where we are now to realising the dream...

 __VERSE 3__

 Let my peoples legacy be
 An eye to eye meeting between you all and me
 Let my peoples legacy teach
 That part of the whole,  is what we are each

 __PRE-CHORUS__

 So lend me your fire,  
 show me that spark
 close up the gaps
 keep out the dark
 Cuz if we're making this world smaller bit by bit
 What good is that, if we are not together in it?

 __BRIDGE__

 And i believe in all of you,
 Maybe more than you all do
 That's the power of joining forces:
 Quiet all those doubting voices,
 Thats the power of joining hands
 Balance out each-other's cans and
 cannot dos, they cant ignore us
 if the song sounds better when its sung in chorus

 And if the solo wears you out,
 The harmony will heal it
 A change is coming in,
 The gaps are closing i can feel it!

 __CHORUS__

 So i'd like us to close the gaps
 Between your world and my world 
 Between this part and that
 So I play in the gaps in between
 From where we are now to realising the dream
 From what I can see and what I have seen
 From what we are now and what I know is gonna be
 Our legacy
