Dark is the day where his thoughts betray Weighing on his mind And it steals his soul To place his trust with memory's love Waiting to align Who will heal his soul? Wait and see for a grand return He remains alone Drifting away in the twilight sky The novelty will fade away I wish I could be dead for a day Just to hear what all the people would say To find out in the end who was really my friend And what the meaning of life's all about I wish I could be dead for a day Just to hear what all the people would say To find out in the end who was really my friend And what the meaning of life's all about He can't feel for his heart is yearning All is lost today You can hear him cry Sorrowed sighs through the rolling darkness Waiting for the time To believe in her Dreamer's day when he longs to say And take it all Sitiing alone in his prisoned mind The jaded takes its toll again I wish I could be dead for a day Just to hear what all the people would say To find out in the end who was really my friend And what the meaning of life's all about I wish I could be dead for a day Just to hear what all the people would say To find out in the end who was really my friend And what the meaning of life's all about Blood on the lips of his mother She warned him that this day would come Feeling he doesn't know what to trust Sin for his heart is the color red Time for the fainter Just to hear pathetic cadence of cries Pray to your saviour And you'll fear the crippled godsend of lies Why can't you save me Can you feel it in my soul? Why can't you save me Can you see it in my soul? I wish I could be dead for a day Just to hear what all the people would say To find out in the end who was really my friend And what the meaning of life's all about I wish I could be dead for a day Just to hear what all the people would say To find out in the end who was really my friend And what the meaning of life's all about To be dead just for one day
