There's a dream my heart just can't seem to leave behind
Like a flower holding on for life, inside my mind
Time and again, I push it away from me
But it finds a way back in sleep
My beating heart drowns my thoughts away
Tearing apart this dreamer's way
But still I know deep inside my soul
That I never can let it go
How can anybody live in a world that's so cruel and beautiful?
Always asking why we're really here
Losing all of our control to our fears
Some of us are strong, some of us are weak, but still we seek...
For a new day that can offer more
Do we really know the world we're fighting for?
Up above the grey of the sky reflects my eyes
All the air that sweeps around me seems to coldly sigh
And to join us in our despair the heavens weep
As we wait on eternal sleep
Try to escape from reality
By searching for a fantasy
But still I know that I have to go
Can't hold on to a dream of home
How can anybody live in a world that's so cruel and beautiful?
Always fighting to survive the day
Giving all we have to keep death at bay
Are we really here, is it really clear despite the fear?
Should we fight on for the ugly truth?
Or should we hide behind the lies of distant youth?
What if I could turn into a melody
And traverse the world at the speed of sound?
I'd go all the all the way around
Like a song of hope profound
For the ones who need answers to distant pleas
How can anybody live in a world that's so cruel and beautiful?
Always asking why we're really here
Losing all of our control to our fears
Some of us are strong, some of us are weak, but still we seek...
For a new day that can offer more
Do we really know the world we're fighting for?
