I lay awake sometimes   Scared to close my eyes   And I wonder where I left myself   And lost the will to fight      And the night melts into morning   Still it's cold beneath the sun   'Cause the fire in me is languishing   And I'm too frozen to run      And every once in a while   There's a distant glimmer of hope   I find somewhere deep inside   Someone strong still resides   And I know she's gonna be fine in time      'Cause, you see   I've got a lot to dream   There's more than this for me      An angel lands with broken wings   He warms me with his eyes   And the ice that's sheathed around my heart   Unravels as he smiles      See I grew up locked in sorrow   So I learn to block the pain   But I won't give up tomorrow   'Cause I've come to life again      And every once in a while   There's a distant glimmer of hope   I find somewhere deep inside   Someone strong still resides   And I know I'm gonna be fine, that's right      'Cause, for real   I've got a right to dream   There's more than this for me      But I keep goin' 'cause every once in a while   There's a distant glimmer of hope   I find somewhere deep inside   Someone strong still resides   And I know she's gonna be fine in time      'Cause, you see   I've got a right to dream   There's more than this for me
