More time runs away as fast as it can
More lost dreams lie wasted, not part of the plan
If the future could share a warning
It would see our concern growing
A light in the night can’t be so bad
But it kills you if darkness is all you have
The light can take your sight
It can rob you blind tonight
With the light on the horizon getting brighter
The burden on our back isn’t getting lighter
So the hopeless soldier on in vain
And the champions stay out of the rain
Only to find their fulfilled hopes flimsy imitations
Of a life spent unworried of negative connotations
A bad dream never wakes the tired souls
A grim future doesn’t worry those with no goals

More time runs away as fast as it can
More lost dreams lie wasted, not part of the plan
If the future could share a warning
It would see our concern growing
A light in the night can’t be so bad
But it kills you if darkness is all you have
The light can take your sight
It can rob you blind tonight
With the light on the horizon getting brighter
The burden on our back isn’t getting lighter
So the hopeless soldier on in vain
And the champions stay out of the rain
Only to find their fulfilled hopes flimsy imitations
Of a life spent unworried of negative connotations
A bad dream never wakes the tired souls
A grim future doesn’t worry those with no goals
