I feel it burning as it grows
We're grasping out for something beautiful to hold
If we could only tighten our grip
We've had the same dreams many times
Where indecision doesn't plague our childish minds
If we could only listen to ourselves
Towards the glow of dreams and new beginnings
Of worlds that keep on spinning as these words are spinning lies
We'll never know just what we were conceiving
Until we stop believing and the glow is gone for good
We fear the worst for years to come
Burnt out dreams on rivers of regret do flow
If we could only tighten our grip
The nightmares end when life begins
Hope eternal springing from the simplest source
If only we were born with this light on
