It's not the spark that caused the fire It was the air you breathed that fanned the flame What you think you'll solve with violence Will only spread like a disease Until it all comes 'round again Was John the only dreamer? Sleep with one ear close to the ground And wake up screaming When we lay our cold weapons down We'll wake up dreaming Obsessions with self-preservation Faded when I threw my fear away
It's not a thing you can imagine You either lose your fear Or spend your life with one foot in the grave Is God the last romantic? Sleep with one ear close to the ground And wake up screaming When we lay our cold weapons down We'll wake up dreaming Only love can turn this around I wake up dreaming Everything we've lost can be found We'll wake up dreaming
