Lyrics

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
