Any more and i might learn to leave things as they stand 
people do what they like, that much is sobering 
but nothing less than a miracle could answer to all my pleas 
hope for my wish, the waves of a parting sea 
i could use a little thunder 
and lightning from the sky 
so should i leave these precious dreams 
will not die 
How to live by the rules when i've read this book before 
there's no courage to prove, just your reasoning 
faces of forgotten men much too afraid to ask 
like cogs in a wheel, we long to keep turning back 
i've got to keep from going under 
while running for my life 
so should i leave these precious dreams 
will not die 
After years of uncertainty i wait for the final round 
losing my place, you call me to calm you down 
i could use a little thunder 
and in someone to confide 
so should i leave these precious dreams 
will not die 
a little thunder and lightning 
so when i leave these precious dreams 
will not die
