You know I'm a dreamer
Lost in a world of beauty
And I've nearly forgotten
How real life can be so dirty
Theres so much pain here
I cannot stand the truth
So I smile cautiously here
Instead of crying for my youth
Would it be okay
If I held on to you tonight
Would it be okay
If I gave up on this fight
Cos all of these feelings
Have risen to the surface
And I've discovered
That I have to have more purpose
You know I'm a fighter
But this life is more than I can bare
These walls are closing in
Please take it away, it isn't fair
I feel every death inside
Children crying for their fathers
Now theres no where left to hide
I need to take a stand for others
Would it be okay
If I held on to you tonight
Would it be okay
If I gave up on this fight
Cos all of these feelings
Have risen to the surface
And I've discovered
That I have to have more purpose
You know I'm a lover
Being exposed to this my passion rose
I can't comprehend all this hate
Can't stand the suffering the world shows
The viciousness is screaming in my face
People hurt by people they don't even know exist
Walking down the street, don't even know your safe
We don't have to live like this
Would it be okay
If I held on to you tonight
Would it be okay
If I gave up on this fight
Cos all of these feelings
Have risen to the surface
And I've discovered
That I have to have more purpose
