| I don’t know
|
| But it seems that every single dream’s
|
| Painted pretty pictures in the air
|
| Then it tumbles in despair
|
| And it starts to bend until by the end it’s a nightmare
|
| But I’m gonna give all that I’ve got to give
|
| Cross my heart, and I hope to live
|
| I don’t know
|
| But I find the speedy hands of time
|
| Are waving out a warning on the wall
|
| But nobody heeds the call
|
| And the soldier obeys while the parson prays for his downfall
|
| But I’m gonna give all that I’ve got to give
|
| Cross my heart, and I hope to live
|
| I don’t know
|
| But it’s true, so many things you do
|
| Please you so they leave you feeling warm
|
| It’s the calm before the storm
|
| For the habit grows and before you know it you’re deformed
|
| So I’m gonna give all that I’ve got to give
|
| Cross my heart, and I hope to live
|
| I don’t know
|
| But I feel that safety isn’t real
|
| With everybody acting all the same
|
| For the rules will ruin the game
|
| So I go my way laughing while they say that I’m insane
|
| Yes I’m gonna give all that I’ve got to give
|
| Cross my heart, and I hope to live
|
| I don’t know
|
| But I see that every thing is free
|
| When you’re young and treasures you can take
|
| But the bridge is bound to break
|
| And you reach the end screaming «It's all been a mistake»
|
| So I’m gonna give all that I’ve got to give
|
| Cross my heart, and I hope to live
|
| Well I don’t know
|
| But it seems that every single dream’s
|
| Painted pretty pictures in the air
|
| Then it tumbles in despair
|
| And it starts to bend
|
| Until by the end it’s a nightmare
|
| But I’m gonna give all that I’ve got to give
|
| Cross my heart, and I hope to live |
