Dreaming
D. Malakian/S. Tankian/Shavo Odadjian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And what happens if the sun won't shine its light?
What happens when everything falls apart
And what happens if the bad guy wins tonight?
You don't want to let go, and I won't say I said so
And what would happen if we all lost our way
And what happens if our mamas just don't pray?
Dreaming of a better world
If you can make it all right I need it
If you can give me new life then bleed it
Dreaming of a better world
What happens when the lovebirds lose heart
And what happens when religion won't do us right?
What happens when the desperate go too far
And what happens when our heroes lose the fight?
You can't say you don't know
And will we reap what we what sow?
And what happens when the saints lose their faith
And what happens if our mamas just don't pray?
Dreaming of a better world
Dreaming of a better world
If you can make it all right I need it
If you can give me new life then bleed it
Dreaming of a better world
And what happens if we lose our way?
And what happens if we lose our way?
And what happens if we lose our way?
And what happens if we lose our way?
What happens if we lose our, what happens if we lose our way?
Dreaming of a better world
Dreaming of a better world
If you can make it all right I need it
If you can give me new life then bleed it
Dreaming of a better world
