There's a time you will remember
Not too many years gone by
When the flame became an ember
Truth became a lie
Kiss them all and say goodbye
And in our minds we have been tempted
Every man would be a king
Some imagined, some invented
Freedom on the wing
We had a dream for everything
Have you heard
Love's a stranger in this cruel world
Have you heard
There's a danger you might get hurt
I won't take down the road that you can't follow
Or desert you on a sea of dreams
And I won't promise you the world is yours tomorrow
I won't leave you, nothing's bad as it may seem
You can choose but you can't borrow
From the bible or the gun
One's salvation, one is sorrow
Justice will be done
And make its claim on everyone
