Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Stranger in the crowd trading fire after dark
Lost in the city pulsing to the sound
Of the spirit in soul, a city that is breathing
Living through the cables, alive across the wires
Faces without names playing devils and angels
Lit up by the strokes, moving hypnotized
I caught your reflection in the neon in glass
Electric silhouette against the static sky
[Verse 2]
It's a beautiful dream, it's a beautiful life
It's just a reflection, a world I must survive
We're children of the past, look beyond today
Designing the present so when is the future?
Living in a  dream, keeping visions alive
It's just a reflection, a world that never dies
The image we create, your image we designed
It's a beautiful life, so when is the future?
[Verse 3]
Time moves so fast in a single direction
Fighting with the present, racing from the past
We're searching for something that can never satisfy
The reality of answers when lives are on the line
I've waited a lifetime for the age of wonder
A place that I remember in a splinter of time
A stranger in a strange land caught in the flow
Still searching for answers among the neon lights
[Verse 4]
It's a beautiful dream, it's a beautiful life
It's just a reflection, a world I must survive
We're children of the past, look beyond today
Designing the present so when is the future?
Living in a dream, keeping visions alive
It's just a reflection, a world that never dies
The image we create, your image we designed
It's a beautiful life, so when is the future?
[Verse 5]
It's a beautiful dream, it's a beautiful life
It's just a reflection, a world I must survive
We're children of the past, look beyond today
Designing the present so when is the future?
Living in a dream, keeping visions alive
It's just a reflection, a world that never dies
The image we create, your image we designed
It's a beautiful life, so when is the future?
