Oh cruel world
Will you knock me down
Until I'm begging on my knees?
And oh beautiful world
Will you push me
Until I'm soaring with the stars?
Until I'm flying with the birds?
Let me know if I have what it takes
Push me to the point my heart breaks and aches
Remind me what I'm doing this for
Let me go on and fight for more and more
And when I drift away
When I lose my way
My body starts to decay
My body starts to decay
And I put cigarettes in the ash tray
Everything will be okay
Let me know if I have what it takes
Push me to the point my heart breaks and aches
Remind me what I'm doing this for
Let me go on and fight for more and more
When I stand in agony
Absently
And my thoughts turn bitter and angry
Send the cavalry to my balcony
And free me from my insanity
And even though I hurt and I hurt
I will always be a dreamer at heart
And even though we've drifted apart
I'm still a dreamer
A dreamer with a heavy heart
Let me know I have what it takes
Push me to the point my heart breaks and aches
Remind me what I'm doing this for
Let me go on and fight for more and more
