Lyrics - Gazing through the window at the world outsideWondering will mother earth surviveHoping that mankind will stop abusing her sometime After all, there's only just the two of usAnd here we are still fighting for our livesWatching all of history repeat itself time-after-time I'm just a dreamerI dream my life awayI'm just a dreamer…

I don't often talk about my poetry, preferring to leave the interpretation to the reader. However, This one hurt. writing it was the most painful piece I have ever done.
