Lyrics
V1:
Been a million years since I walked this way.
A thousand hurts is what I mean to say.
It's a dream state, and it's mine all mine
Road of conquest, sometimes of tears.
It's a road I've worked for years and years.
It's a dream state, and it's mine all mine.
Shattered promises, pain upon pain.
Feelings lost, like tears in the rain.
Change 1:
(insturmental)
V2:
Dreams of childhood, the wonder days.
Silly me, I thought I could stay.
It's a dream state, and it's mine all mine.
Live life, set back again and again,
No direction blow around, like a leaf in the wind.
It's a dream state, and it's mine all mine.
Narrow my focus, leave the weak behind.
Follow my plan, this is me this time.
It's a dream state, and it's mine all mine.
Move ahead, don't look to the past.
Finally make a difference, that at last will last.
Change 2:
(Instrumental)
Finale:
Been a million years since I walked this way.
A thousand hurts is what I mean to say.
It's a dream state, and it's mine all mine.
It's a dream state, and it's mine all mine.
It's a dream state, and it's mine all mine.
Close:
(Instumental) / end.
