A Dream Gone Wrong Songtext
von Jimmy Somerville

How high a mountain must I climb to reach for air
To breathe the air so clear, so pure
Could blow my mind
In my mind there is a place
For everyone, for every taste
But in this life, reality
Can shoot you dead for the colour of your hair

We can′t run and hide as hard as we try
We can't all believe in a Lord on high
But it′s our love that stops us crying
We can't change the fact we're born to die
We can′t all profess to know how or why
But keep on reaching, don′t stop trying


I've seen a poison river flow
A land where nothing grows
I′ve watched a man of fascist mind
Kill in the name of love
The futile war, the human crime
The sacred scream just burning time
And who are we to take in vain
This precious world of foolish shame

We can't run and hide as hard as we try
We can′t all believe in a Lord on high
But it's our love that stops us crying
We can′t change the fact we're born to die
We can't all profess to know how or why
But keep on reaching, don′t stop trying

If the dreams go wrong
Let your heart be strong
If the dreams go wrong
Don′t let love fade away

We can't run and hide as hard as we try
We can′t all believe in a Lord on high
But it's our love that stops us crying
We can′t change the fact we're born to die
We can′t all profess to know how or why
But keep on reaching, don't stop trying
