We turn our heads, lower the eyes
Is it painful, too disgraceful to be seen
We build a castle weak but high
Walls to ward off rude awakenings from a dream

The castle then the ruins left
The load of a thousand dreams
Beyond the reach of eyes and ears
Horizons call and seem to hold
Life of gold

We carry on and bravely bear
The weight of years in which we'll face the odds
For all we know you will be there
The masquerade goes on forever and we're caught for life 

An endless journey guided by
The pull of of mighty streams
Beyond the reach of eyes and ears
Horizons call and seem to hold
Life of gold 

Many a morning you'll wake up and find
That it's right
Only you by me side
Needing me, say you do,
Let me see you through
