Lyrics
Never Want To Dream
I don?t want to die tonight
Cos? I don?t want take this fight
What if I exercise the right
And take myself a million miles away from here
What?s the worst they?d do to me
Hang me from the nearest tree
Strike me blind so I can?t see
The world that I could run back home to see today
You would never want to dream
If you?d seen what I have seen
You would never want to dream
If you?d screamed like I?ve screamed
The time is here this moment?s mine
A time to run or hold the line
Collect my thoughts now I feel fine
If this is my life then why?s it not mine to take
You would never want to dream
If you?d seen what I have seen
You would never want to dream
If you?d screamed like I?ve screamed
You would never want to dream
If you?d seen what I have seen
No you would never want to dream
If you?d screamed like I?ve screamed
