Lyrics
Keep a light on because
Everyone has a ghost
Heaven lies up above
There we'll fly when we're done
Start off life as a bud
Kiss and cry in the sun
Twist entwine with your love
Within two will be one
Soon we'll all fade away
Living so free
Everything lovely everyone happy
Patience enduring
What comes you will see
You can follow your dreams
If you want you can be
Soon we'll all fade
Keep a light on because
Everyone has a ghost
Everyone comes and goes
But forever inside we hold
Close to something born into us
Everyone has a ghost
Everyone has a ghost
