i once was one with the world
everything fit
and i was sure of it
now everything in the world
seems strangely out of place
completely disarranged
I lie awake at night
thinking of a better life
somewhere out there for us
i am dreaming all the day
hoping for a better day
out there somewhere for us now
we're getting something good
but something's taken away
lost in the exchange
i can't seem to get it right
looking for the answer
keeps me up at night
if i could i'd wish upon a star
change the way things are but i can't
if i could take away your pain
make you happy again
then i would
