Beautiful Cruel World

Let your heart dream free And you’ll find where you belong It’s more delicate, more fragile than all life itself When I set it free It always comes back to me So I’ll let it find pace in my embrace The wish you have, it is fighting through Your pounding heart - that thirst in you It leaves your mind ‘n you forget, in time Til it calls to you once again In this Beautiful Cruel World Chilling and dark and frightening Are we never to obtain a sign? 
Or a reason why we’re still alive? Ah Strong, but we are weak Cause we fail to see, that soon, in time There’ll be nothing left we can protect Nothing but a distant life we’ve left behind Tell me why the sky above fills my heart with grief? All the memories, they find the wind and turn to ash If they’re left to be The warm words, they’ll only freeze So I’ll let them find peace in my embrace I’ll hide the pain, thoughts of what could be Inside a dream, a fantasy It clings to me, and I struggle free But it always drags me back down In this Beautiful Cruel World Chilling and dark and frightening We keep begging death to give us time But we never will give up the fight Reaching for the sky You and I are like flightless birds For we know that beauty favors lies More than it adorns the truth left in the world If we could become notes of a melody We could take our place upon the wind We could spread our wings and race To a place so far away Bringing love .. and hope where it’s needed most In this Beautiful Cruel World Chilling and dark and frightening Are we never to obtain a sign? 
Or a reason why we’re still alive? Ah Strong but we are weak Cause we fail to see, that soon, in time There’ll be nothing left we can protect Nothing but a distant life we’ve left behind
