(Tony Arata)

|
I spent half my life on bended knee
|
Begging somebody to change
|
And the other half prayin¢¥to God
|
That they never would
|
|
And all it got me was twice as lost
|
When it all turned out the same
|
But all that beggin¢¥ finally did somebody good
|
|
I used to dream all night
|
Of a day that was gone
|
But come the morning light
|
Forever from now on
|
|
Gonna do my dreaming with my eyes wide open
|
I¢¥ll do my looking back
|
With my eyes closed
|
We can do some living
|
Or spend our whole life hopin¢¥
|
In the end we¢¥re left with
|
The one we chose
|
So I¢¥ll do my dreaming with my eyes wide open
|
|
Every time the world moved on
|
I fell a little further behind
|
From running back or following someone home
|
|
Until I learned that one step forward
|
Will take you further on
|
Than a thousand back or a million that ain¢¥t
|
Your own
|
|
I used to dream all night
|
Of a day that was gone
|
But come the morning light
|
Forever from now on
|
|
Gonna do my dreaming with my eyes wide open
|
I¢¥ll do my looking back
|
With my eyes closed
|
We can do some living
|
Or spend our whole life hopin¢¥
|
In the end we¢¥re left with
|
The one we chose
|
So I¢¥ll do my dreaming with my eyes wide open
|
|
We can do some living
|
Or spend our whole life hopin¢¥
|
In the end we¢¥re left with
|
The one we chose
|
So I¢¥ll do my dreaming with my eyes wide open
