Lyrics
Woke up from a dream though the night was long - Looked in the mirror - Everything was wrong - There's no good news today no matter what the people might say - Oh God sometimes I wish we'd quit the games we play - Look at me now - Gotta open your eyes and tell me what you see - Lost and then found - Life and easy and the road gets rough when you're trying to be the man that you wanna be - Stop what I'm doing and watch the world go by - Cross my heart and hope to cry - Time don't stop for no one - I'm just passing through - Gonna live my life and keep on doing what I do - Look at me now - Gotta open your eyes and tell me what you see - Lost and then found - Life and easy and the road gets rough when you try to be the man you wanna be - Sometimes I ask the stars above for peace of mind and a heart filled with love - Tell me what do you dream of - Woke up from a dream though the night was long - Looked in the mirror - Not everything was wrong - There's some good news today - No matter what the people might say - Gotta love who I am and be happy that way
