You lived the life you dreamed the dream
You built the wall that stands between
Blocked out the light that gave you hope
Withdrew your words before you spoke
You watched the world slip out of your handsAnd you laughed and you cried
And that made it all worthwhile
And you hoped and you prayed
That your world would never change
But all that it's become
Is AvalonYou made your home where kings have died
There's no romance now you've seen the light
You thought you'd found the land of dreams
Sometimes a paradise is not what it seems
You watched the world slip out of your handsAnd you laughed and you cried
And that made it all worthwhile
And you hoped and you prayed
That your world would never change
But all that it's become
Is AvalonAll that remains are memories and lies
Nothing stays the sameAnd you laughed and you cried
And that made it all worthwhile
And you hoped and you prayed
That your world would never change
But all that it's become
Is Avalon
