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?
