The Dream Is Gone

You can't remember
Why you spent the whole night proving
What you'll be losing
The dream is gone
Do you want another one
Time to join the chorus line
Sing into the safe design
You don't want more than this
You don't want more than this
Time to take the easy way out
Alone not a hope or a doubt
Finish the dream that brought you so much bliss
Sails filled with wind and the joy deep within
Finish with the light that holds the . . .
You don't need it anymore
