I've got a reason to dream darkly
the "spooks" on TV and the tough times at home
We've all got a reason to sleep lightly...
We are not alone

We've all got a reason to circle the wagons
Here come the dragons and the knights are long gone
Don't tell the children they've got to shine brightly...
They know something's wrong.

CH:
I know in the morning I will see
Someone sticking my neck out for me
The winds of war are blowing us to sea.

I've got a reason to dream darkly
It's open season for the discontent
The world's injustice gonna take its tithe now...
Where's your money spent?

Turn on the TV, it's more vainglory
God bless America but that's only half the story
God save the child with a gun in his hand...
He thinks that I am his reason to dream darkly.

BR:
And if the only path is hate, I hope God won't help us
And if we find someone to blame that will only help us
dream...more darkly.

CH:
I know in the morning I will see
Someone sticking my neck out for me
The tools of war will never render peace
