The crowd came to silence

The spotlights are shining

A tale has to be told

In any age

All the world is a stage

A play will now begin

There once was a child

With a dream in his mind

And a thousand things to learn

But with each passing day

His childhood sleeps away

How soon the first act ends

All the dreams that we have

Are lost along the way

Victims of real life

Now the child is a boy

And new dreams have evolved

He strives to make them real

Not the fear in his heart

Nor a past full of pain

Will take away his hope

But how cruel life is

And although he resists

New problems will appear

So he'll loose one more chance

Time destroys all his plans

The second act is done

All the dreams that we have

Are lost along the way

Victims of real life

We are looking

For the meaning of our lives

But our faults remain the same

And the truth

Will be distant from our hearts

Where our dreams will never end

But our fate is in command

Now the boy is a man

Though his visions remain

He knows they have no chance

A heart full of hate

All his hope driven away

Life's worn down his defence

How many lives

In the world born and die

In disillusionment

Not allowed to have dreams

And one day make'em real

This tale will never end

All the dreams that we have

Are lost along the way

Victims of real life

We are looking

For the meaning of our lives

But our faults remain the same

And the truth

Will be distant from our hearts

Where our dreams will never...

We are looking

For the meaning of our lives

But our faults remain the same

And the truth

Will be distant from our hearts

Where our dreams will never end

But our fate is in command

But our fate is in command

But our fate is in command
