You became to me
 Lived a fantasy
 An illusion


 Built scenery
 Played to the gallery
 like so many we
 Never could agree


 All the pain that I
 Had to hide inside
 Made me realize
 I was starvedTried so hard to be
 Anyone but me
 Everyone could see
 So, I've opened my eyes


 I'm no longer waiting for a miracle
 Hold my head up high, the future's now


 Though I was colorblind
 I read the warning signs
 And put the past behind
 Down the gutter


 Now I finally see
 That the enemy
 is both in you and me
 Yeah, I've opened my eyes
 I'm no longer waiting for a miracle
 Both feet on the ground, my future's now
 No use in waiting for a miracle
 Hold my head up high, my future's now
