Maggie Reilly - Brought up to believe lyrics
Your rating:
Schoolgirls giggling in the next compartment Lipstick ladies in their head Magazine styles romantic visions Starting their lives advertisement fed And they're brought up to believe in dreams of a better life Thinking about the easy years to come Looking forward that's the only way that they've been taught One day the world will be their own And the wheel turns around In the twinkling of an eye And they find their hopes just castles in the sand Older faces in the mirror now Chasing ghosts of yesterday Once they were foolish, once they didn't care Now their eyes fill with memories They were brought up to believe in dreams and a better life They sure knew good times when they were young But somehow, sometimes, it's not easy to recall All the good things they have done As their time slips away Only memories live on Ever changing with the passing of the years How could life be so hard Fading wishes left to rust Till they find the stardust sprinkled in their eyes Schoolgirls giggling in the next compartment Lipstick ladies in their head Magazine styles romantic visions Starting their lives advertisement fed They were brought up to believe in dreams of a better life Thinking about the easy years to come Looking forward that's the only way to realize One day the world will be their own And they're brought up to believe in dreams of a better life They sure knew good times when they were young But sometimes, somehow, it's not easy to recall All the good things that they have done
