Bury a Dream

Did you ever have to let go

Of that vivid crazy dream

You're holding on to so hard

Wishing so bad it could be real

As a hopeless last resolve

Asking why, why did it vanish

Watching all of it blow up

Even if no-one'll ever know

 

Chorus Why bury a dream

When dreams are so real

And reality's so misty 

Incomprehensible and plain

Will I turn away 

As dreams bury themselves 

Look at us here

why bury a dream

 

So going nowhere, I'm off at last

Letting load off, to take off

On a journey on air alone

High on hopes of better ways 

This would be the way to explore 

Life's too short to stay low

Got a few new words to say

And no causality chains to blame

Chorus Why bury a dream

When dreams are so real

And reality's so misty 

Incomprehensible and plain

Will I turn away 

As dreams bury themselves 

Look at us here

why bury a dream

 

Let my dream be real dear God

I'm counting on heavenly support on this one

Time made a joke by too much too soon 

Gave some brand new routes in my brain

A loss that ripped the soul right apart

Gotta fight that sinking feeling

But a dream is on again

Hopefully not another dream to bury

Chorus Why bury a dream

When dreams are so real

And reality's so misty 

Incomprehensible and plain

Will I turn away 

As dreams bury themselves 

Look at us here

why bury a dream
