I don't want to dream
I just want to live
Just want to know where I can go to find a reason to remain alive
Don't need no sun
Clouds or rain
Don't care to fight no tear drops
All this pain
But the heart needs sure to know
The rain where flowers grow
It will only be a little while
'til we come home
And the heart needs just one look
At all the things time took
It will only be a little while
'til we come home
Don't need no run
No train of thought
Don't want to tally up all the losses
And pay the cost
I don't want the guilt
Can't bear the cross
Don't want to run beside all the flaws
In my frosted heart
But the heart needs just one look
And the mind needs a reason why
Maybe soon we'll be round the bend
Come home tonight
I don't want to think of all time took
I just want to open up my eyes
Its time to see again
The joy inside this life
