Dream Theater - Learning To Live lyrics

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