verse1
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 o - pen
I'll do my looking back with my eyes closed
We can do some living or spend our whole life hop - in'
In the end we're left with the one we chose |start turn

So I'll do my dreaming with my eyes wide open

verse2
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
