[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
You're chasing a dream now,
A dream of a better life.
It's taking you over,
Like autumn leaves in strife.
And just like that, you know,
The winter frost will pass.
You're sleeping through it all,
And it's all moving way too fast.

[Pre-Chorus]
You're building a palace,
From plans and ambitious pride.
But love is the one thing,
That has nothing left to hide.

[Chorus]
But the time is running out,
As you're racing to the prize.
You don't even see the light,
That's shining in their eyes.
It's coming from the souls,
Of the ones who hold you near.
Don't you ever put it out,
'Cause life is more than fear and numbers, dear.

[Verse 2]
It's not afraid of storms,
Or the changing of the years.
It isn't scared of pain,
It washes away the tears.
You're trying to seize the day,
But tell me, are you free?
Or are you just a prisoner,
Of who you want to be?

[Chorus]
'Cause the time is running out,
As you're racing to the prize.
You don't even see the light,
That's shining in their eyes.
It's coming from the souls,
Of the ones who hold you near.
Don't you ever put it out,
'Cause life is more than fear and numbers, dear.

[Bridge]
And when you see yourself,
Reflected in their gaze...
It's not some empty ghost,
But happiness for days...
Just pure and simple happiness...

[Chorus]
'Cause the time is running out,
As you're racing to the prize!
You don't even see the light,
That's shining in their eyes!
It's coming from the souls,
Of the ones who hold you near!
Don't you ever put it out,
'Cause life is more than fear and numbers, dear!

[Outro]
Don't sleep your life away...
Don't sleep the dream away...
Life is right now...
Right now...

[End]
