I dream of a time when I believed
Before I was so cruelly deceived
I remember when I thought I knew
Now the certainties seems so few
How I believed in the power of love
Set on a pedestal, so high above
It could conquer all, for nothing resists
A belief that's faded into the mists
I believed that man could conquer despair
That there was nothing we couldn't bear
I didn't realise how crushing the weight
Of all the lies, the pain and hate
"It will all be fine in the end"
A dream I now can't comprehend
No end in sight, darkness all round
Whilst hope is nowhere to be found
I dream of a time when I believed
Before I was so cruelly deceived
I dream that I could believe again
How much happier my life was then
