There is a time in life it seems
For believing in dreams, for me it's gone
And though I realize today
Dreams are empty anyway, I still feel wronged

I felt cheated when you went away
But not as defeated as I felt the day
You came back and we found so little to say

There is a time in life I know
When we all must outgrow young ideals
And the wisdom that we gain
Is paid for with the pain I now feel

There is a time in life it seems
For believing in dreams for me it's gone
