When All Is Lost

I believe

Nothin' ever comes to light

Chasin' shadows in the night

In a starless sky

And I wonder why?

Oh, I believe

We will never find a way

The darkness lights the day

We never question why

Still I wonder why?

I close my eyes lost in the memory

Just like a candle in the wind

What could have been

With just one kiss goodbye

You spread your wings to fly

Far away

Somehow, someday

You will understand

I hope you'll understand

Someday

Silent pictures like ghosts in the machine

Haunting my reflection in the frame

Chasin' down the hopeful child inside of me

Where'd it all go wrong and who's to blame

U-uh, we pass the time away

With empty lives the laughter dies

O-o-oh!

Is this all we have to show?

Is this all they'll ever know?

Can they find their way?

What went wrong?

Where have all the heroes gone?

Trading futures for a song

We gave away

Thinking only of myself I forged ahead

No regrets, no apologies

Bitter tears reward the life that I have led

A world of lies brings me to my knees

I took the road with every twist and every turn

The words of wisdom is the lesson never learned

Lose your fear and free your soul

Or the mysteries of life you'll truly never know

You'll never know!

Is this all we have to show?

Is this all they'll ever know?

Can they find their way?

What went wrong?

Where have all the heroes gone?

Trading futures for a song

We gave away

Just gave away

I close my eyes lost in the memory

Like a candle in the wind

What could have been

With just one kiss goodbye

You spread your wings to fly far away

I hope you'll understand one day

We pass the time away

With empty lives the laughter dies

And the colors fade

Fade away

Oh, daylight fades away

O-o-oh

O-o-oh!

Is this all we have to show?

Is this all they'll ever know?

Can they find their way?

What went wrong?

Where have all the heroes gone?

Trading futures for a song

We gave away

What went wrong?

Where have all the heroes gone?

Trading futures for a song

We gave away
