Lyrics

When she's alone she's herself again,
when she's alone she remembers when,
when she was young and she felt so strong,
she knows her chances have come and gone,

and now she stands before the mirror,
where everything is so much clearer,
all she knows is how it makes her feel,
waiting, while her bruises heal
CHORUS
While the morning sun is rising, she's alone,
and it won't be too suprising when he's home,
he will tell her that he's very sorry, for lastnight,
and if dinner is on the table it will be alright,
her life is not as it had seemed,
in all of her childhood dreams,
and as she lays there in her bed,
she hears the words whispered in her head,
live your dreams
(end chorus)

When he is gone and things are calm,
she bides her time cause it won't last long,
she gets so tired of apologies,
and all the scars that noyone sees,
then she unfolds the piece of paper,
with all the promises he made her,
and she tears it up as she screams,
and among the pieces she dreams,
all those dreams,
while the morning sun is rising,
she is finally realizing,
things she should have known,
CHORUS
While the morning sun is rising, she's alone,
and it won't be too suprising, when he's home,
he will tell her that he's very sorry, for lastnight,
and if dinner is on the table it will be alright,
her life is not as it had seemed,
in all of her childhood dreams,
and as she lays there in her bed,
she hears the words whispered in her head,
CHORUS REPEATED(Different)
The feeling as it comes is undescribable,
she hears the strongest words echoing through her soul,
when you feel the power of your darkest hour,
don't givin,
when you fear the starkness of the darkness,
the lights within,
the battles not as hard as it seems,
be true to your childhood dreams,
and as she rises from her bed,
she hears the strongest words in her head,
live your dreams,
live your dreams,
live your dreams,
(piano interlude to ending)
live your dreams
