I spent half my life on bended knee
Begging somebody to change
And the other half prayin' to God
That they never wouldAnd all it got me was twice as lost
When it all turned out the same
But all that beggin' finally did somebody goodI used to dream all night
Of the day that was gone
But come the mornin' light
Forever from now onGonna do my dreamin'
With my eyes wide open
I'll do my looking back
With my eyes closedWe can do some livin'
Or spend our whole life hopin'
'Cause in the end we're left with
The one we choseSo, I'll do my dreaming
With my eyes wide openEvery time the world moved on
I fell a little further behind
From runnin' back
Or followin' someone homeTill I learned that one step forward
Will take you further on
Than a thousand back
Or a million that ain't your ownI used to dream all night
Of the day that was gone
But come the mornin' light
Forever from now onGonna do my dreamin'
With my eyes wide open
I'll do my looking back
With my eyes closedWe can do some livin'
Or spend our whole life hopin'
But in the end we're left with
The one we choseSo, I'll do my dreaming
With my eyes wide openWe can do some livin'
Or spend our whole life hopin'
'Cause in the end we're left with
The one we choseSo, I'll do my dreaming
With my eyes wide open
