LEARNING TO LIVE - Dream Theater |
|
There was no time for pain |
|
No energy for anger |
|
The sightlessness of hatred slips away |
|
Walking through winter streets alone |
|
He stops and takes a breath |
|
With confidence and self-control |
|
I look at the world and see no understanding |
|
I'm waiting to find some sense of strength |
|
I'm begging you from the bottom of my heart to show me understanding |
|
I need to live life |
|
Like some people never will |
|
So find me kindness |
|
Find me beauty |
|
Find me truth |
|
When temptation brings me to my knees |
|
And I lay here drained of strength |
|
Show me kindness |
|
Show me beauty |
|
Show me truth |
|
The way your heart sounds makes all the difference |
|
It's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feel |
|
The way your heart beats makes all the difference |
|
In learning to live |
|
Here before me is my soul |
|
I'm learning to live |
|
I won't give up |
|
Till I've no more to give |
|
Listening to the city |
|
Whispering its violence |
|
I set out watching from above |
|
The 90s bring new questions |
|
New solutions to be found |
|
I fell in love to be let down |
|
Once again we dance in the crowd |
|
At times a step away |
|
From a common fear that's all spread out |
|
It won't listen to what you say |
|
Once you're touched you stand alone |
|
To face the bitter fight |
|
Once I reached for love |
|
Another chance to lift my life |
|
Free the sensation in my heart |
|
To ride the wings of dreams into changing horizons |
|
It brings inner peace within my mind |
|
As I'm lifted from where I've spilt my life |
|
I hear an innocent voice |
|
I hear kindness, beauty and truth |
|
The way your heart sounds makes all the difference |
|
It's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feel |
|
The way your heart beats makes all the difference |
|
In learning to live |
|
Spread before you is your soul |
|
So forever hold the dreams within our hearts |
|
Through nature's inflexible grace |
|
I'm learning to live |
