She lives in one small room Over the convienence store She had big plans once She doesn't have them anymore Got little diamonds in her ears But she's got coal in her eyes It's been night so long now She doesn't think the sun will rise And she asks, "Is this all there is? Won't this ever end? There must be a better place" Looking for another world I'm not sure we should I'm not sure salvation lies there There is bad as well as good Let us love each other now As if this world is all there is He wanted to believe In the dreams he held so dear He swam against the tide But he was drowning in his fear On the lost horizon The goal kept shrinking down in size It's been night so long now He doesn't think the sun will rise And he says, "This can't be all there is There must be something more There must be a better place" Looking for another world I'm not sure we should I'm not sure salvation lies there There is bad as well as good Let us love each other now As if this time is all there is Lying here beside you I wonder what will become of us Of you and me, oh, of all of us So many dangers, oh so much at stake I'm scared of what I cannot see, my love I am so scared I'll help you if I can I believe I've got to try We all have our parts to play And I am playing mine I don't know about another world What beyond this curtain lies I know it's been night a long time But one day the sun will rise Yes, one day the sun will rise
