Lyrics
'Legend'
Intro:
1. A legend sleeping in the night
Silent, still and newly born.
A hero fighting with the wind
Another cold and frosty morn.
Excitement in the air
Expectation everywhere
A legend sleeping in the night.(twice)
The sun went down on this city
And it left the rain
Yesterdays dreams turned to pain.
The sun came back to this city
Sweeped aside all shame
Yesterdays dreams came back again.
Chorus:
You are the heart and soul of this city
You are the heart and soul of it's life
You are the heart and soul of this city
You are the heart and soul of it's life.
Instrumental:
2. So this is how the story goes
Believe in me believe in him
A man who came to heal the world
A fantasy or time to begin.
Excitement in the air
Expectation everywhere
A legend sleeping in the night.(twice)
The sun went down on this city
And it left the rain
Yesterdays dreams turned to pain.
The sun came back to this city
Sweeped aside all shame
Yesterdays dreams came back again.
Chorus:
You are the heart and soul of this city
You are the heart and soul of it's life
You are the heart and soul of this city
You are the heart and soul of it's life. (twice)
