I spent half my life on bended knee
Begging somebody to change
And the other half prayin´to God
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
But come the morning light
Gonna do my dreaming with my eyes wide open
Or spend our whole life hopin´
In the end we´re left with
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
Than a thousand back or a million that ain´t
I used to dream all night
But come the morning light
Gonna do my dreaming with my eyes wide open
Or spend our whole life hopin´
In the end we´re left with
So I´ll do my dreaming with my eyes wide open
Or spend our whole life hopin´
In the end we´re left with
