Lyrics

Life's a Holiday

When I wake I see
Somebody else's dream
Playing on a screen

And all those dreams of mine
Feel so left-behind
Waiting to be seen

We shake the sleep away
And push along into the day

I need someone to teach
Me to extend my reach
And cover all the Earth

Do you ask too much?
Are you out of touch
With your exact worth?

Because, to me, it seems
Not taken to extremes
We can do anything
It's there just for the taking

CHORUS:
Life's a holiday
Fear will fall away
Take yourself away
To a better place
Like a holiday
Without an end

In my dreams I see
The whole world chasing me
And falling to the ground

Then we rise up so high
Into the summer sky
And take a look around

We see the rift between
What is and what should be
And blame the referee
There's always something!

REPEAT CHORUS.
