[Verse 1]

All the journeys of this great adventure

It didn't always feel that way

I wouldn't trade them because I made them

The best I could, and that's enough to say


[Refrain]

Some days were dark

I wish that I could live it all again

Some nights were bright

I wish that I could live it all again


[Verse 2]

All the highlights of that headlong flight

Holding on with all my might

To what I felt back then

I wish that I could live it all again


[Chorus]

I have stoked the fire on the big steel wheels

Steered the airship right across the stars

I learned to fight, I learned to love, I learned to feel

Oh, I wish that I could live it all again


[Verse 3]

All the treasures, the gold and glory

It didn't always feel that way

I don't regret it, I'll never forget it

I wouldn't trade tomorrow for today


[Refrain]

Some days were dark

I wish that I could live it all again

Some nights were bright

I wish that I could live it all again


[Chorus]

I have stoked the fire on the big steel wheels

Steered the airship right across the stars

I learned to fight, I learned to love, I learned to feel

Oh, I wish that I could live it all again


[Interlude (Spoken)]

The days were dark

And the nights were bright

Hey, man, I would never trade tomorrow for today


[Drum Break]


[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 4]

All the highlights of that headlong flight

Holding on with all my might


[Refrain]

Some days were dark

I wish that I could live it all again

Some nights were bright

I wish that I could live it all again


[Chorus]

I have stoked the fire on the big steel wheels

Steered the airship right across the stars

I learned to fight, I learned to love, I learned to feel

Oh, I wish that I could live it all again


[Chorus]

I have stoked the fire on the big steel wheels

Steered the airship right across the stars

I learned to fight, I learned to love, I learned to steal

Oh, I wish that I could

Oh, I wish that I could live it all again
