Flying dreams denied
A painful slash to my pride
A night ago I could have died
But I lay awake instead and cried
The feelings lost inside my mind
I hoped that someday I would find
A night in which I wouldn't mind
What's going on before and behind
What's going on is painful
I'm thinking real disdainful
It's hurting me
It's burning me
It's taking all my soul
It's taking it all...
A night in which a sparrow falls
A night a girl grows too old for dolls
A night in which a new car stalls
A night in which a baby bawls
I couldn't hope for any more
Any more would just be greedy
A life is full of wonder and wish
I only hope to taste the dish
When I reach the height, the dreams, and the goals...
When I reach the end...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can't have it all. But you'll understand it all at the end...
