Verse:
CSo, so you think you can
Dtell,
Heaven from HAmell, blue skies from
Gpain.
Can you tell a greenDfield from a cold steel
Crail, a smile
from aAmveil?
Do you think you can tGell?
And did they get you to trCade your heroes for
Dghosts,
Hot ashes forAmtrees, hot air for a
Gcool breeze, cold
comfort forDchange,
And did you exCchange a walk on part in the
Amwar for a
lead role in aGcage?
