(Verse 2 - same chords as Verse 1)
There's a highway of stars across the heavens
The whispering song of the wind in the grass
There's the rolling thunder across the savanna
A hope and dream at the edge of the sky
And your life is a story like the wind
Your life is a story like the wind
Repeat Chorus Twice
Fade out....
