You Keep Dreaming On

She was a flower by the lakeside
Just like the wind, so wild and free
The kind of magic that you never
can understand, you just let be
You seized her every waking moment
A golden cage of doubt and fear

You tried to lock her up and fence her in
"Where did you go? Just tell me where you've been"
Her innocence was killed with wrongs and rights
A hunted deer caught up in bright headlights
Your princess in your ivory tower
You thought you had the might and power
To play her life just like a song
But you keep dreaming on

She was the angel in your heaven
Her wings of pure integrity
Trying to be what you had told her
A roadside in your one-way street
She was the puppet, you're the master
But I have cut the final string

You tried to lock her up and fence her in
"Where did you go? Just tell me where you've been"
Her innocence was killed with wrongs and rights
A hunted deer caught up in bright headlights
You thought you had the might and power
To play her life just like a song
But you keep dreaming on
Yes, you keep dreaming on

You keep dreaming on
