Stepping out to see another day has gone
Time is slipping by, they're losing touch of where they're from
Reality surrounds them but it blocks the way ahead
It's as if the time has come to take them from this path they tread
Sometimes there's someone there to knock you down
Before too long you find what you've become
Too late to go back to the place they call home…
They take the task that they've been set to ease their minds
It'll take them forty years but they could still get left behind
Night and day it goes on, there's no end to the grind
But one day the time will come for them to unwind
Hitch a ride on a magic wave to take you away
Set your sights for hopes and dreams to stay
Too late to go back to the place they call home…
The people queue up one by one to see if their luck's in
Six times for luck they hope to see if their dreams could begin
Twice a week time drifts on by, and still nothing there
All they can do is wait and see if next time they'll be set free
There's a road far up ahead
Taking people to their dreams
Drive on, it'll take you there
Won't be long, you'll soon find the chair
Sit right back, relax and smile
Realise you haven't known this for a while…
Can you feel the air tonight, bringing on the rain
There's a chance that it has come to take away the pain
Ha**le free it sets you free, bridge the gap of sanity
Hell's the place you call hope, wears away like a rope…
Now you find they have you in their hands
There's no way you could spoil their plans
Too late to go back to the place they call home…
You spend your days working hard
You realise it's just a facade
But your duty draws you in
Knowing another day must begin
Before too long you start to shout
But no-one cares what it's all about
They're tied up too, just like you
With no hope to see their life through
