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
