Fooled by a Dream

We live, and we learn, we dream then we die
We stop in concern while chances keep on passing us by
We're looking to others and living a lie
Why even bother all this effort just to get by

We're placing the pieces, we're playing the game
We watch as it ceases, looking back at what we became
No one is special, we're all just the same (whoa, whoa)
With all to lose and nothing to gain

There's a line in the sand that you cannot cross, so quench your desire, desire
Don't be fooled by a dream, there's no way that you will get any higher, higher
There's a chance you'll get burned, so it's better to extinguish your fire, your fire
And whoever tells you to go follow your dream is a liar, a liar

There's no way of taking before we receive
The future we're making is in the fabric we weave
Don't let no one tell you what you should believe (whoa, whoa)
There's no limit to what you can achieve

There's a line in the sand that you cannot cross, so quench your desire, desire
Don't be fooled by a dream, there's no way that you will get any higher, higher
There's a chance you'll get burned, so it's better to extinguish your fire, your fire
And whoever tells you to go follow your dream is a liar, a liar

It's not enough, this can't be all
It's not enough, don't let me fall
It's not enough, I won't give up until
I climb atop this wall

It's not enough, this can't be all
It's not enough, don't let me fall
It's not enough, you can beat me around
But you'll never see me crawl
You'll never see me crawl

There's a line in the sand that you cannot cross, so quench your desire, desire
Don't be fooled by a dream, there's no way that you will get any higher, higher
There's a chance you'll get burned, so it's better to extinguish your fire, your fire
And whoever tells you to go follow your dream is a liar, a liar (a liar, a liar)
