Jimmy Somerville - A Dream Gone Wrong lyrics

(butcher / somerville) How high a mountain must i climb To reach for air To breath 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 face We can't all believe in the lord on high But it's our love that stops us crying We can't change the fact We are 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 the men of fascist mind k** in the name of love The futile war the human crime The sacred scream just biding time And who are we to take in vain This precious world i'm full of shame We can't run and hide as hard as we try We can't all believe in the lord on high But it's our love that stops us crying We can't change the fact We are born to die We can't all profess to know how or why But keep on reaching don't stop trying If the dreams gone wrong Let your heart be strong If the dreams gone wrong Don't let hope fade away And who are we to take in vain The precious world i'm full of shame We can't run and hide as hard as we try We can't all believe in the lord on high But it's our love that stops us crying We can't change the fact We are born to die We can't all profess to know how or why But keep on reaching don't stop trying
