when we were young we would dress like heroes that we loved

in our minds we could visit far off lands



and we'd vow that the day

never would it come when

we'd need more than

stones in our hands



yeah these days go by fast

as we race to the top

find the quick fix shortcuts and play to win



we no longer breathe and barely exist

and we fear for the new day to begin

yeah we fear for the new day to begin.



so i close my eyes and bid you my farewell

and i wish you pleasant dreams

and i wish you pleasant dreams

yeah yeah



so pleasant dreams to you my friend

to the one i know

life's done well with all of the riches

one could ever dream though cloaked in envy's spell



that more it could never

be enough and too little is

much worse than it seems



so i close my eyes and bid

you my farewell and I

wish you pleasant dreams

and i wish you pleasant

dreams yeah yeah



tonight i go to bed in the

cool summers air for

tonight i walked outside

and looked at God i saw

his face in the stars and

the moon and inside i feel

his peace
