Hate is easy when you're hurting It comes on you like the plague It makes you shout at all your loved ones Words you never meant to say And love is harder when it's one way And to yourself you're forced to lie ‘Cos when someone crosses your heart, yeah you try hard not to hope to die I don't claim to have the answers I can only say what I know is right All I ask is you sleep on it Love the world another night Love for one more night The best things in life all have an ending Know that before you even start But finding things that really last, son It's hard, but therein lies the art And things that last, they're kinda scarce now in the world in which we live Where the emptiness from endless taking Dissolves the moment that you give So fall away into your slumber Where everything is what it seems Wide awake, a pinch can hurt you Close your eyes and dream Why do you try so hard to find the cause of life? you're just a child Son when you do, will you find peace? There are some things I can teach you Others are lessons learnt alone But at the times that I can't reach you Know that you'll always have a home You were born with the potential to make the world a better place The scars of war and broken lovers have yet to mark upon your face So let my song carry you skywards And leave the nightmare far beneath Can you see your future spread before you? Close your eyes and dream
