What’s in a Dream

[Chorus]
What's in a dream when your life is over?
What happens after that?
What's in a life when your dreams take over
And you can't get better than what you got?
When all the apparitions in the back of your head
Are in the forefront now, you just play dead
When all the premonitions of a broken past appear
Take what's left and you walk on home

[Verse 1]
Never had the things in life that make a man feel strong
Only the possession of a passion for my song

[Pre-Chorus]
Once I give away my rock n' roll
I'll be spendin' day and night askin' for another soul

[Chorus]
What's in a dream when your life is over?
What happens after that? (Then it's up to you)
What's in a life when your dreams take over
And you can't get better than what you got? (Then it's up to you)
When all the premonitions in the back of your head
Are in the forefront now, you just play dead
When all the apparitions of a broken past appear
Take what's left and you walk on home

[Verse 2]
Never thought that anyone would ever understand
Only knew my salvation was playin' in a band

[Pre-Chorus]
Once I give away my rock n' roll
I'll be cryin' day and night until my final fall

[Chorus]
What's in a dream when your life is over?
What happens after that? (Then it's up to you)
What's in a life when your dreams take over
And you can't get better than what you got? (Then it's up to you)
When all the premonitions in the back of your head
Are in the forefront now, you just play dead
When all the apparitions of a broken past appear
Take what's left and you walk on home

[Bridge]
I traded everything the day my music died
Now I'd do anything to get it back inside
I've lived a million different worlds away from here
Now every song that's sung reminds me of that fear

[Chorus]
What's in a dream when your life is over?
What happens after that? (Then it's up to you)
What's in a life when your dreams take over
And you can't get better than what you got? (Then it's up to you)
When all the premonitions in the back of your head
Are in the forefront now, you just play dead
When all the apparitions of a broken past appear
Take what's left and you walk on home

[Outro]
I'm a rebel in this world of kings and queens
I've got my small town pride and my big city dreams
But as I'm looking out the window at the river city
Don't know what's to come, but it sure sounds pretty to me
