Dreams

The earth is becomming
An eternal hell
And I'm watching it all
Through broken dreams.
I have lived through it all,
Through all the hatred and wrong.
The abuse,
No one can see.
I've seen the power
Of a prayer on eagle's wings.
I've seen the truth
In every soul.
I've seen the damage
A glass of wine will do.
I've seen love drown out the cold.

Just for once in my life
I'd like to see it all end.
I'd like to live in peace.
I'd like to watch it all burn.
I'd like to prove them all wrong.
I'd climb the highest mountain.
I'd reach for the stars.
And I'd achieve my dreams.

I've survived
The most dangerous perils.
I've made it through
Many terrifying things.
I've tried and tried 
To forget the past.
But the more I try
The harder it seems.
I've known how precious
Life can be.
I know violence
Can't solve a thing.
Just for once in my life,
I'd like to realize my dreams.

Just for once in my life,
I'd like to see it all end.
I'd like to live in peace.
I'd like to watch it all burn.
I'd like to prove them all wrong.
I'd climb the highest mountain.
I'd reach for the stars.
And I'd achieve my dreams.

My only weapon,
Against the hate
Is a love,
I may never find.
I've searched everywhere
And I've found nothing.
I was jumped
From behind.
My dreams have been shattered.
My heart torn in two.
My prayers left unanswered,
Lies believed to be true.
And they tell me I'm wrong,
That I haven't a chance.

Just for once in my life,
I'd like to see the pain end.
I'd like to live without hate.
I'd like to watch the world burn.
I'd like to beat my obstacles,
Climb Mt. Everest.
I'd reach past the stars.
And I'd achieve my dreams.
