When All Is Lost

I believe, nothing ever comes to light Chasing shadows in the night In a starless sky and I wonder why Oh I believe, we will never find a way The darkness lights the day We never question why, still I wonder why? I close my eyes lost in the memory Just like a candle in the wind What could have been, with just one kiss goodbye You spread your wings to fly Far away, somehow, someday you will understand I hope you'll understand, someday Silent pictures like ghosts in the machine Haunting my reflection in the frame Chasing down the hopeful child inside of me Where'd it all go wrong and who's to blame Oh, we pass the time away With empty lives, the laughter dies Oh! Is the all we have to show? Is this all they'll ever know? Can they find their way? What went wrong? Where have all the heroes gone? Trading futures for a song we gave away Thinking only of myself, I forged ahead No regrets, no apologies Bitter tears reward the life that I have led A world of lies brings me to my knees I took the road with every twist and every turn The words of wisdom is the lesson never learned Lose your fear and free your soul or The mysteries of life you'll truly never know You'll never know! Is the all we have to show? Is this all they'll ever know? Can they find their way? What went wrong? Where have all the heroes gone? Trading futures for a song we gave away Just gave it away I close my eyes, lost in that memory Like a candle in the wind What could have been, with just one kiss goodbye You spread your wings to fly far away I hope you'll understand one day We pass the time away With empty lives, the laughter dies And the colors fade, fade away Oh daylight fades away Oh no no no! Oh! Is the all we have to show? Is this all they'll ever know? Can they find their way? What went wrong? Where have all the heroes gone? Trading futures for a song we gave away What went wrong? Where have all our heroes gone? Trade our future for a song, We gave it all away
