I'd do another one in a second; I'm just waiting for (DreamWorks CEO) Jeffrey Katzenberg to ask me again. Working with him and Hans (Zimmer) was extraordinary and exciting. I learned a ton from being around them - in fact I credit Jeffrey for making music exciting for me since the turn of the millennium. He's really an inspiration.

Sound the bugle now, play it just for me
As the seasons change, remember how I used to be Now I can't go on, I can't even start I've got nothing left, just an empty heart I'm a soldier, wounded so I must give up the fight There's nothing more for me, lead me away Or leave me lying here Sound the bugle now, tell them I don't care There's not a road I know that leads to anywhere Without a light I fear that I will stumble in the dark Lay right down, decide not to go on |
Then from on high, somewhere in the distance
There's a voice that calls remember who you are If you lose yourself, your courage soon will follow So be strong tonight, remember who you are Yeah, you're a soldier now, fighting in a battle To be free once more, yeah, that's worth fighting for |
