Volunteer

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You should know yourself and you should heal yourself

And you should ask yourself a couple of questions

Think about it twice for once

Can I show you the window I came through?

Can I show exactly how I know you?

I’ve seen you in my dream, described your every scene

Nothing comes back to me until I begin to dream again

Beautiful dream, more than a dream

Trapped and lost to your love power

Baby, I just watched you bursting your last tear

But you’re no victim, honey, you’re a volunteer

Tell me, am I getting through to you?

Am I making any sense?

When you dumped home, did you lie?

You should’ve known, most crimes are of self-defense

Baby, I just watched you bursting your last tear

But you’re no victim, honey, you’re a volunteer

I had a dream, you had a dream, I had a dream of you

I had a dream, you had a dream, I had a dream of you

Baby, look in my eyes, tell me what do you see

Are you looking right at you when you’re looking right at me?

Will you find what you’ve never lost?

And when you reach the border, when do you dub across?

Beautiful dream, more than a dream

Trapped and lost to your love power

Beautiful dream, more than a dream

Trapped and lost to your love power

Baby, I just watched you bursting your last tear

You’re no victim, honey, you’re a volunteer

I had a dream, you had a dream, I had a dream of you

I had a dream, you had a dream, I had a dream of you

Are you living in some kind of Disney, where you’re thinking its king?

Are you charmed as on a bet, are you chilling on a wind?

If that fruit is forbbiden, they say it can’t be forgiven

The reason tells you to stay, but you’re going anyway

Baby, look in my eyes, tell me what do you see

Are you looking right at you when you’re looking right at me?

Will you ever find what you’ve never lost?

And when you reach the border of self-pity, will you cross at any cost?

Know yourself, heal yourself, help yourself

Free yourself, love yourself

Are you listening to what I have said?

Think about it twice for once

Beautiful dream, more than a dream

Trapped and lost to your love power

Beautiful dream, more than a dream

Trapped and lost to your love power

Baby, I just watched you bursting your last tear

You’re no victim, honey, you’re a volunteer

I had a dream, you had a dream and I had a dream of you

I had a dream, you had a dream and I had a dream of you

Baby, I just watched you bursting your last tear

You’re no victim, you’re a volunteer

You can’t do what you do to yourself

You keep on running and you can’t find yourself

You keep on looking and you can’t find yourself

You keep on crying when you don’t free yourself

You can’t keep doing what you do to yourself

You keep on running and you can’t find yourself

You keep on lying but you’re lying to yourself

You keep on trying but you can’t find yourself

You can’t keep doing what you do to yourself

You keep on running and you don’t know yourself

You keep on looking and you can’t find yourself

You keep on crying when you don’t free yourself

You can’t keep doing, you keep on running

You keep on lying, you keep on trying

You can’t keep doing what you do to yourself

You keep on trying but you can’t find yourself

You keep on running but you don’t know yourself

You keep on crying

You can’t keep doing what you do to yourself

You keep on running but you never know yourself

You keep on looking and you never find yourself

You keep on running but you never know yourself

You can’t keep doing what you do to yourself

You keep on trying but you don’t find yourself

You can’t keep on crying when you don’t know yourself

You keep on trying but you’re lying to yourself

You keep on crying
