Another World

She lives in one small room
Over the convenience 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

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
Out 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

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
And all of us
So many dangers
So much at stake
I'm scared of what I cannot see, 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
