I've been running from the truth
I've been running since my youth, tired of running
I will stand here 'til you see
I am you and you are me, tired of running
There really is no difference when you look beneath the skin
Someday I know we'll go beyond this world we're living in

Now when I lay me down to sleep
I will be dancing in my dreams
Seeing the way it all should be
I will be dancing
Now when I lay me down to sleep
I will be dancing in my dreams
Seeing the way it all should be
I will be dancing
Dancing in my dreams

There's no hiding in the dark
From the beating of my heart it's getting louder
Just as long as we believe
The truth will set us free, it's getting louder
But all that really matters is the light in your face
In you I see the longing of the whole human race

And now when I lay me down to sleep
I will be dancing in my dreams
Seeing the way it all should be
I will be dancing
Now when I lay me down to sleep
I will be dancing in my dreams
Seeing the way it all should be
I will be dancing
Dancing in my dreams

On and on the story goes
Or it's the passing of the torch
With one small voice it all begins
Then there are millions more, millions more

Now when I lay me down to sleep
I will be dancing in my dreams
Seeing the way it all should be
I will be dancing
Now when I lay me down to sleep
I will be dancing in my dreams
Seeing the way it all should be
I will be dancing
Oh, dancing in my dreams

Oh, dancing in my dreams

We're living in a world of stars and dust
Between heaven and all that surrounds us
We're travelers here, spirits passing through
And the love we give, is all that will endure
Hey now, what we had is gone
But I still remember you
Just like a rose after the rain
Something beautiful remains

Tears will leave no stains (tears will leave no stains)
Time will ease the pain (time will ease the pain)
For every life that fades (for every life that fades)
Something beautiful remains (something beautiful remains)

Now the darkness falls
The sun is going down
One by one, the stars are coming out
Tide comes in, washes footprints from the sand
As one day ends, a new day must begin
Hey now, though we are apart
You're forever in my dreams
Hey now, love is lost again
What you gonna do about it?
What you gonna say?
Something beautiful remains

Tears will leave no stains (tears will leave no stains)
Time will ease the pain (time will ease the pain)
For every life that fades (for every life that fades)
(Something) something beautiful remains (something beautiful remains)

And you wonder sometimes how you carry on
When you've lost the love the you knew
But it's alright, alright
To your own heart be true

Tears will leave no stains (tears will leave no stains)
Time will ease the pain (time will ease the pain)
For every life that fades (for every life that fades)
(Something) something beautiful remains (something beautiful remains)

Tears will leave no stains (tears will leave no stains)
Time will ease the pain (time will ease the pain)
For every life that fades (for every life, for every life that fades)
(Something) something beautiful remains (something beautiful remains)

Tears will leave no stains (tears will leave no stains)
Time will ease the pain (time will ease the pain)
For every life that fades (for every life that fades)
Something beautiful remains (something beautiful remains)

Tears will leave no stains (tears will leave no stains)
Time will ease the pain (time will ease the pain)
For every life that fades (for every life that fades)
Something beautiful remains (something beautiful remains)
