hope is ours for these short few hours
as fireworks light up the sky
and as snow falls soft from the clouds
on merry-go-rounds the children play
and the truth will fall out of me
and you will see what I want
buildings may fall but the truth will stand tall
and you will see what I want is you
time escapes as we find hearts that break
and dream of a love we could share
may we all stand as one when the day it is done
with what for it had to be there
and the truth will fall out of me
and you will see what I want
buildings may fall but the truth will stand tall
and you will see what I want is you
so lay down, close your eyes and dream of the love we will share
lay down, close your eyes and dream of the love we will share
when the truth can fall out of me
and you will see what I want
buildings may fall but the truth will stand tall
and you will see what I'm not with you
When the truth will fall out of me
and you will see what I want
Buildings may fall
But the truth will stand tall
and you will see what I want is you
