lyrics

9. Why We Dream

Well we’re 2 of a kind
trying to figure life out
Sometimes we dance,
sometimes we disagree
Time after time,
wondering why it’s
all been worth it
Cuz when you boil it down
the best that we’ve had
are dreams

The heroes in life,
they still take chances
on the merry-go-round they
reach for the golden ring

During the war,
day after day
the bombs fell
Night after night
houses were turned to sand
What did it take
for them to keep on going?
Building the walls
starting all over again

CHORUS

You gotta be still
for just one minute
Look in my eyes &
remember why we dream

We promised ourselves

I think I’m outa my mind
I’m certain this time
that we’re both insane
Standing in sunlight
believing in whitelight
when it’s pouring rain

The heroes in life....etc
