A Dream Gone Wrong

How high a mountain must I climb , To reach for air , To breath the air so clear so pure , Could blow my mind , In my mind there is a place , For everyone for every taste , But in this life reality can shoot you dead , For the colour of your face , We can't run and hide as hard as we try , We can't all believe in the lord on high , Bur it's our love that stops us crying , We can't change the fact we are born to die , We can't all profess to know how or why , But keep on reaching don't stop trying , I've seen a poison river flow , A land where nothing grows , I've watching the man of fascist mind , Kill in the name of love , The futile war the human crime , The sacred scream just biding time , And who are we to take in vain , This precious world I'm full of shame , We can't run and hide as hard as we try , We can't all believe in the lord on high , Bur it's our love that stops us crying , We can't change the fact we are born to die , We can't all profess to know how or why , But keep on reaching don't stop trying , If the dreams gone wrong let your heart be strong , If the dreams gone wrong , don't let hope fade away , And who are we to take in vain , The precious world I'm full of shame , We can't run and hide as hard as we try , We can't all believe in the lord on high , Bur it's our love that stops us crying , We can't change the fact we are born to die , We can't all profess to know how or why , But keep on reaching don't stop trying. --- A Dream Gone Wrong - Jimmy Somerville
