lyrics

(Spoken Word)
As I walk these familiar streets but one cold winter’s night so often I think to myself whatever happened to an innocent child’s dream?

I ask this of myself, of the midnight sky, of the moon, the stars, and the heavens but alas not one single answer comes back to me. They used to say to me when I was just a child you grow up, get what education you should but wish, you marry, have a family, get a steady job to bring them up, you grow old and you die peacefully one night as you sleep and that was it...

Growing up that is what I thought life was. So simple so black and white but now I see just how wrong I was and this I spent but each waking hour trying to re-imagine and return to that lost...childhood...dream...


Verse 1
Redeem me, lost soul condemned to hell
Conceal from me, the shadows of the night
Everything I thought I knew
But one dream I’d wish come true
And I need someone to hold me now

Chorus
Am I looking for an answer
One fairytale a midnight dancer
When all I have my heart to hold
A symphony of souls

Verse 2
Hate me, lest hate oneself you cannot break me
Forsake me, I do not dare to dream once more
Darkened prayer one angel down
A world trying to make me drown
Was I just one beautiful young fool

Chorus

Bridge
Fantasy
Reality
Two different tales to me
Sleeping
Weeping
But the same ideals to me

Solo
Chorus
(Spoken Word)

I guess no one explained to me darkness, sickness, inner emotions, inner demons or the awful pain of being forced to say goodbye to a loved one.

Who knows? Maybe they were only trying to protect me and yes it is true that every fairytale and story we are told and perhaps later tell to our own children... You remember that beginning, once upon a time...

But as every story begins every story must end. Remember the ending ...Happily ever after. Every dream ends but then so does every nightmare

Sometimes it’s hard to let the demons go...They held us when no one else would...
