Oh cruel world Will you knock me down Until I'm begging on my knees And oh beautiful world Will you push me Until I'm soaring with the stars Until I'm flying with the birds Let me know I have what it takes Push me to the point my heart breaks and aches Remind me what I'm doing this for Let me go on and fight for more and more And when I drift away When I lose my way And my body starts to decay My body starts to decay And I pile cigarettes in the ashtray Everything will be okay Let me know I have what it takes Push me to the point my heart breaks and aches Remind me what I'm doing this for Let me go on and fight for more and more When I stand in agony absently And my thoughts turn bitter and angry Send the cavalry to my balcony And free me from my insanity And even though I hurt and I hurt I will always be a dreamer at heart And even though we've drifted apart I'm still a dreamer A dreamer with a heavy heart Let me know I have what it takes Push me to the point my heart breaks and aches Remind me what I'm doing this for Let me go on and fight for more and more
