Verse 1
The trouble with playing this victim game
Is you believe you have no power
So you deny your self wisdom to change how you choose
When you decide you have had enough. Is that you?
Verse 2
The problem with a mind that can't move on
Is all you get is more of the same
But in the end there is no one to blame / shame
It's up to you how much you prolong. It's your call
Chorus
Sense the sun a rising
Feel the fog a clearing
Hear the birds a singing
Know your day is coming soon
Verse 3
And in the morning you will feel alright
When you arise you'll see things diff'rent
You simply have to open up your eyes / realise
For believe you me all things change when you wake
Repeat Chorus

Verse 1
When ev'rything is said and done

When ev'rybody takes their place
We stage a great production
Then we suspend our disbelief
Because it serves the mission

Everyday I'm checking my hands - do they look okay?
Every night I'm living my dreams - am I asleep now?
Does it matter?
Verse 3
When ev'ryone is lost and found
It's been a great adventure
Because we know it deep inside
No body really dies

A wooded entrance long un used calls you beyond

The sound of music dancing
The light of lanterns burning bright
The carriages of guests arriving lead you on

A gentle piano draws you
Her back is cloked venetian-red
She plays an air you feel you know from somewhere else

Oh my love I know that you are out there
Oh my love I don't know how to get there
Oh my love I fear I must be dreaming
But no my love I wear the silken waistcoat

Oh my love
Where are you?

Infant pulling at my sleeve
Turning pages on my knee
It's like a future memory as you play in the next room

Your blue eyes rest upon my face
Exchanging names you say you wait for my return

In Everyone

Unaware of who we are

Sometimes hard to see - but there nevertheless

In everyone
One tries to see
Where they come from

Doesn't matter what we choose to believe true
