Jimmy Somerville - A Dream Gone Wrong lyrics

(Butcher / Somerville)

How high a mountain must I climb

To reach for air

To breath the air so clear so pure

Could blow my mind

In my mind there is a place

For everyone for every taste

But in this life reality can shoot you dead

For the colour of your face

We can't all believe in the Lord on high

But it's our love that stops us crying

We can't change the fact

We are born to die

We can't all profess to know how or why

But keep on reaching don't stop trying

I've seen a poison river flow

A land where nothing grows

I've watched the men of fascist mind

Kill in the name of love

The futile war the human crime

The sacred scream just biding time

And who are we to take in vain

This precious world I'm full of shame

We can't run and hide as hard as we try

We can't all believe in the Lord on high

But it's our love that stops us crying

We can't change the fact

We are born to die

We can't all profess to know how or why

But keep on reaching don't stop trying

If the dreams gone wrong

Let your heart be strong

If the dreams gone wrong

Don't let hope fade away

And who are we to take in vain

The precious world I'm full of shame

We can't run and hide as hard as we try

We can't all believe in the Lord on high

But it's our love that stops us crying

We can't change the fact

We are born to die

We can't all profess to know how or why

But keep on reaching don't stop trying
