GIVING UP THE DREAM

Words & Music by: Piet Louter



Your honesty just made you see all things so clear and fair
So you made anybody so easy to be your friend
Then your fantasy just made you dream and build your castles in the air
Just setting all your heart upon it to gain your ends

Giving up the dream for reality
It is such hard lines when you come to find what the world is like
Giving up the dream for reality
It's what you have to pay, going with your age
Just exchanging youth for some bitter truths


Well, all your parts would bring you so far
When believing people's praising words
And you took it as a promise for the years to come
But how it let you down by the time you found
What these things are really worth
When you've been freed from your illusions and your dreams are done

Giving up the dream for reality
It is such hard lines when you come to find what the world is like
Giving up the dream for reality
It's what you have to pay, going with your age
Just exchanging youth for some bitter truths
