[Verse 1]
World turns black and white
Pictures in an empty room
Your love starts falling down
Better change your tune, yeah!
You reach for the golden ring
Reach for the sky
Baby just spread your wings

[Chorus]
We'll get higher and higher straight up we'll climb
We'll get higher and higher leave it all behind

[Verse 2]
Run, run, run, away
Like a train runnin' off the track
The truth gets left behind
And falls between the cracks
Standing on broken dreams
Never losing sight, oh!
Well just spread your wings

[Chorus]
We'll get higher and higher straight up we'll climb
We'll get higher and higher leave it all behind

[Bridge]
So baby dry your eyes, save all the tears you've cried
Ohh that's what dreams are made of
Cause we belong in a world that must be strong
Ohh that's what dreams are made of

[Solo]

[Chorus variation]
We'll get higher and higher straight up we'll climb
Higher and higher leave it all behind
Oh, we'll get higher and higher who knows what we'll find

[Outro]
So baby dry your eyes, save all the tears you've cried
Ohh, that's what dreams are made of
Ohh, baby we belong in a world that must be strong
Ohh, that's what dreams are made of

And in the end on dreams we will depend
Cause thats what love is made of

Van Halen

Van Halen is one of the most iconic American rock bands of all time. Formed in Pasadena, California in 1972, the group’s primary line-up consisted of Eddie Van Halen on guitar, Alex Van Halen on drums, David Lee Roth providing lead vocals, and Michael Anthony providing bass duties and significant harmonies.

Their first six albums, recorded and released between 1977–1984, are considered to be classics and pioneering efforts in the field of hard rock. Eddie Van Halen’s groundbreaking guitar sound and techniques completely changed the landscape of music and radio culture in the 1980s. His and brother Alex’s virtuosity, along with David Lee Roth’s charisma and bassist Michael Anthony’s foundational contributions garnered the band early comparisons to their predecessors—Led Zeppelin—a group who had a profound influence on them. Though, even more so than Jimmy Page, Eddie cites Eric Clapton as having the biggest impact on his playing.

In 1977, after recording a demo with Gene Simmons (who wanted the band to change their name to “Daddy Longlegs”) they were introduced to KISS‘ management, who told Simmons they wouldn’t sign them
