Happy Ending

Who says you can't have a happy ending? Who says all your hopes are false? Who says, and who do they think they're fooling? This thirst of yours to thirst no more Who says all dreams are of escaping? Who says you have to close your eyes? Some dreams become their way to waking Into hope realized Into you might be surprised When you lose your life At the last word of your last line Tell me what you find Who's this, invading all your dreaming? Who's this, advancing under threat? Who's this, so terrified of losing? What's at stake? Why so grave? You cannot take What I freely gave When I lose my life At the last word of my last line I'll tell you what is mine Who knows better than yourself That at last, you wait for someone else? Some light to bid you come awake And watch the morning break Well, who says? Who says? Who says you can't have a happy ending?
