Do you dream of escape as I do?
When the hurt starts to fall does it all fall on you?
when the going gets tough
Does your soft heart shine through?
Do you dream?
Do you hope for escape  as I do?

Did I ever forget to win?
In the dark behind my eyelids must I always witness sin?
when the going gets tough
Can I still bear and grin?
Did I forget?
Shall I again forget to win?

Did I give it all at age eighteen
The fiery soul of the greatest dreamer you've ever seen.
when the going gets tough
Can the dreamer stay clean?
Did I give it all?
Did I lose it all at age eighteen

Do you dream when you're deprived?
Like when the last light of a dying fire somehow stays alive.
when the going gets tough
Can a dead heart revive?
Do you dream?
Can you still dream when you're deprived?

you must
and shall
remain alive
