I stood naked in the dark Waiting to begin a thousand other nights My heart stood still It’s too late to be afraid
There had been worse times There had been close times Pot times junk times In that moment my life didn’t fail me My will is stronger than my flesh And if it can destroy you it can save you too
Help me out I’m losing time Help me out I’m losing time
We are dreamers We are believers We are dreamers We are future
You are ignorant of all it takes For me to stand here Hate for you drinkers You talkers You glass tappers Sing-alongers Foot pounders
The eager The bored The hip The square All those who paid and expect value in return I gave you a vision once And you expect me to have it still? Like a birthmark or a scar I’m a victim of my past
Help me out I’m losing time Help me out I’m losing time
We are dreamers We are believers We are dreamers We are future
I am here I utter my truth in the half dark In the thronged rooms where everyone’s breath Tastes of cigarettes and alcohol Where people leave the day behind them at the door I stand with you sensation hunters Impervious to shame or pride
Now I look out Over a wall of weakness My pride has nothing left to wound but myself I’m too old to walk away Too drunk to make it Too sick to be afraid One has to destroy something to create something new
And you are my friend more than anyone Candy, will you dance with me?
We are dreamers We are believers We are dreamers We are future
