Brainstorm
Take me away from the norm
I've got to tell you somethin'
This phenomenon
I had to put it in a song
And it goes like
Whoa
Amber is the color of your energy
Whoa
Shades of gold displayed naturally
You want to know what brings me here?
Ohh oh
You glide through my head blind to fear
And I know why
Whoa
Amber is the color of your energy
Whoa
Shades of gold displayed naturally
Whoa
Amber is the color of your energy
Whoa
Shades of gold displayed naturally
You live too far away
Your voice rings like a bell anyway
Don't give up your independence
Unless it feels so right
Nothing good comes easily
Sometimes you've got to fight
Whoa
Amber is the color of your energy
Whoa
Shades of gold displayed naturally
Launched a thousand ships in my heart, so easy
Still, it's fine from afar, and you know that
Whoa
Brainstorm
Take me away from the norm
Whoa
I've got to tell you somethin'
