Dreaming With My Eyes Open

I spent half my life on bended knee,
Begging somebody to change.
And the other half prayin´to God that they never would.
And all it got me was twice as lost
When it all turned out the same,
But all that beggin´ finally did somebody good.
I used to dream all night
Of a day that was gone,
But come the morning light
Forever from now on...
Gonna do my dreaming
With my eyes wide open.
I´ll do my looking back
With my eyes closed.
We can do some living,
Or spend our whole life hopin´,
In the end we´re left with
The one we chose.
So I´ll do my dreaming
With my eyes wide open.
Every time the world moved on
I fell a little further behind.
From running back or following someone home.
Until I learned that one step forward
Will take you further on,
Than a thousand back or a million that ain´t your own.
I used to dream all night
Of a day that was gone,
But come the morning light
Forever from now on...
Gonna do my dreaming
With my eyes wide open.
I´ll do my looking back
With my eyes closed.
We can do some living,
Or spend our whole life hopin´,
In the end we´re left with
The one we chose.
So I´ll do my dreaming
With my eyes wide open.
We can do some living,
Or spend our whole life hopin´,
In the end we´re left with
The one we chose.
So I´ll do my dreaming
With my eyes wide open.
