Another World

She lives in one small room

Over the convenience store

She had big plans once

She doesn't have them anymore

Got little diamonds in her ears

But she's got coal in her eyes

It's been night so long now

She doesn't think the Sun will rise

She asks

Is this all there is?

Won't this ever end?

There must be a better place

Looking for another world

I'm not sure we should

I'm not sure salvation lies there

There is bad as well as good

Let us love each other now

As if this world

Is all there is

He wanted to believe

In the dreams he held so dear

He swam against the tide

But he was drowning in his fear

Out on the lost horizon

The goal kept shrinking down in size

It's been night so long now

He doesn't think the Sun will rise

He says

This can't be all there is

There must be something more

There must be a better place

Looking for another world

I'm not sure we should

I'm not sure salvation lies there

There is bad as well as good

Let us love each other now

As if this time

Is all there is

Lying here beside you

I wonder what will become of us

Of you and me

And all of us

So many dangers

So much at stake

I'm scared of what I cannot see, love

I am so scared

I'll help you if I can

I believe I've got to try

We all have our parts to play

And I am playing mine

I don't know about another world

What beyond this curtain lies

I know it's been night a long time

But one day the Sun will rise

Yes one day the Sun will rise
