And your system can't miss
Or symptom of happiness?
A dream stricken prince of a pauper's descent
As he sweats a performance
With the sun in our eyes
To brave the sea of rage and conquer at all costs
And visions still surviving in a logic-proof shell
Only to fall back in line
With every rising sun that yields no sight of land
You can have the world at your feet by tomorrow
You can deviate from the common place
And though the time will come when dream and day unite
And trembling, approaches the surf
Fearing family ties, legalizes, compromise
That should have been held sacred, safe and hidden well
But is security after all a 'cause
Lingers in his memory
Are compromised in usury
In a dimly lit room with a stool as his stage
That presses his window
Approaching the paramount
Tonight the only consolation causing him to fight
To stifle his grave apprehension
And at odds with our senses we'll climb
with promise I've found in my faith
Likely or not, it's a dream that we keep
Haunts the eavesdropping silence
A father's benediction as his hopeful son departs
Takes a moment to summon his courage
I can still find the courage
Brave, yet afraid, his eyes on the horizon
To the practical observer
And rumors spread of mutiny
Is fearless faith in destiny
But if faith is the answer, we've already reached it
Hold tight limelight
It's just a matter of time
And if spirit's a sign
Even when plan fall to pieces
Just sign on this line"
I understand mine's a risky plan
Then it's only a matter of time
To an audience that ticks on the walls
The hesitation cultivates within the tired man
In a steady set gaze
A mariner soon from an open cocoon
