Bedtime Story
 
 

                      I am standing on a mountain
                      I am scared out of my wits
                      I am hungry for companions
                      I have had my fill of this
                      I am waiting for a signal
                      I am praying that it comes
                      I will fly down from this mountain
                      I will shine just like the sun

                      but I don't see the point
                      of always crawling on my knees
                      give up a little they want it all
                      they take just what they please

                      we will meet them on the beaches
                      we will fight them in the fields
                      we will let this mountain teach us
                      we might fall but we won't yield
                      I have got no taste for glory
                      I just want to live in peace
                      this is not a bedtime story
                      it's not beauty and the beast

                      there has always been a valley
                      there were always strangers here
                      this is not a new conception
                      it goes back one thousand years
                      but I don't see the point
                      of always crawling on my knees
                      give up a little they want it all
                      they take just what they please

                      we will meet them on the beaches
                      we will fight them in the fields
                      we will let this mountain teach us
                      we might fall but we won't yield
                      I have got no taste for glory
                      I just want to live in peace
                      this is not a bedtime story
                      it's not beauty and the beast

                      no! - no!
                      it's not beauty and the beast
                      no! - no! - hey!

                      and it just goes on forever

                      we will meet them on the beaches
                      we will fight them in the fields
                      we will let this mountain teach us

                      we will meet them on the beaches
                      we will fight them in the fields
                      we will let this mountain teach us
                      we might fall but we don't yield
                      I have got no taste for glory
                      I just want to live in peace
                      this is not a bedtime story
                      come on
