My heart is beating like the desert sun. You slip into my skin now.
I can only sit back and wish for the best. The dream is yours. It’s all up to you now.
I’m feeling tighter like there’s sand in my blood. I pass the torch on to you.
Oh, but you got the fire in your eyes. White flag in my soul.
I wish it were me. But it’s all up to you now.
All up to you.
All up to you now.
Now I taste the hot wind in my soul - and I know your feelings, son.
I’ve a lifetime of memories - most of them good.
If you want that too. It’s all up to you now.
It’s your turn. I promise you both good and bad now.
It’s all up to you. I swear there’s nothing more I can do now.
All up to you.
All up to you now.
