You once said long ago
That I was blessed, and now I know
I have a song and I have a fight
A fight for knowledge and a constant fight for the light

I love to live, but livin's long
We need the power from our songs to kiss our eyes,
Help us fly, we have to try
We have to try

It's funny how we stay in bed
When the light's come on we wake up dead
Unaware of our masterpiece
Jump up stumblin' and our dreams they cease

So keep on dreamin' through the day
It's the only way, it's the only way
To turn us back on
Don't try and fight the light
Because we have the power of second sight

I love to live, but livin's long
We need the power from our songs to kiss our eyes,
Help us fly, we have to try
We have to try

It's funny how we stay in bed
When the light's come on we wake up dead
Unaware of our masterpiece
Jump up stumblin' and our dreams they cease
