Any more and I might learn to leave things as they stand
   People do what they like, that much is sobering
   But nothing less than a miracle could answer to all my pleas
   Hope for my wish, the waves of a parting sea
   I could use a little thunder
   And lightning from the sky
   So should I leave these precious dreams
   Will not die
  
   How to live by the rules when I've read this book before
   There's no courage to prove, just your reasoning
   Faces of forgotten men much too afraid to ask
   Like cogs in a wheel, we long to keep turning back
   I've got to keep from going under
   While running for my life
   So should I leave these precious dreams
   Will not die
  
   After years of uncertainty I wait for the final round
   Losing my place, you call me to calm you down
   I could use a little thunder
   And in someone to confide
   So should I leave these precious dreams
   Will not die
   A little thunder and lightning
   So when I leave these precious dreams
   Will not die
