DREAM THEATER - Learning To Live lyrics

rate me

There was no time for pain<br>No energy for anger<br>The sightlessness of hatred slips away<br>Walking through winter streets alone<br>He stops and takes a breath<br>With confidence and self control<br><br>I look at the world and see no understanding<br>I'm waiting to find some sense of strength<br>I'm begging you from the bottom of my heart to show some understanding<br><br>I need to live life<br>Like some people never will<br>So find me kindness<br>Find me beauty<br>Find me truth<br>When temptation brings me to my knees<br>And I lay here drained on stength<br>Show me kindness<br>Show me beauty<br>Show me truth<br><br>The ways that your heart sounds makes all the difference<br>It's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feel<br>The way that your heart beats makes all the difference<br>In learning to live<br>Here before me is my soul<br>I'm learning to live<br>I won't give up<br>Till I've no more to give<br><br>Listening to the city<br>Whispering it's violence<br>I set out watching from above<br>The 90's bring new questions<br>New solutions to be found<br>I fell in love to be let down<br><br>Once again we dance in the crowd<br>At times a step away<br>From a common fear that's all spread out<br>It won't listen to what you say<br>Once you're touched and you stand alone<br>To face the bitter fight<br>Once I reached for love<br>And now I reach for life<br><br>Another chance to lift my life<br>Free the sensation in my heart<br>To ride the wings of dreams into changing horizons<br>It brings inner peace within my mind,<br>As I'm lifted from where I've split my life<br>I hear an innocnet voice<br>I hear kindness, beauty and truth<br><br>The way your heart sounds makes all the difference<br>It's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feel<br>The way your heart beats makes all the difference<br>In learning to live<br>Spread before you is your soul<br>So forever hold the dreams within our hearts<br>Through nature's inflexible grace
