Permission To Dream

So much for days of glory

Set stage for another scheme

Paid the price of a lifetime

For a permission to dream

Four walls standing tall

Part of the masquerade

How can I exist in prosperity?

In search of peace eternally

Guide me through the Great Divide

Lead me through pain and pride

Echoes of a requiem

As a new day is revealed

I seem to have found a way

To keep these days and doubts at bay

For all the time spent going nowhere fast

I'll hold on 'cause this chance could be my last
