Producer: Trevor Horn
Album: Wildest Dreams (96)
I've been running from the truth
I've been running since my youth, tired of running
I will stand here till you see
I am you and you are me, tired of running
Someday I know we'll go beyond this world we're living in
Now when I lay me down to sleep I will be dancing in my dreams
Seeing the way it all should be I will be dancing
Now when I lay me down to sleep I will be dancing in my dreams
Seeing the way it all should be I will be dancing
Dancing in my dreams
There's no hiding in the dark
From the beating of my heart it's getting louder
Just as long as we believe
The truth will set us free, it's getting louder
All that really matters is the light in your face
In you I see the longing of the whole human race
Now when I lay me down to sleep I will be dancing in my dreams
Seeing the way it all should be I will be dancing
Now when I lay me down to sleep I will be dancing in my dreams
Seeing the way it all should be I will be dancing
Dancing in my dreams
On and on the story goes
Or it's the passing of the torch
With one small voice it all begins
Then there are millions more, millions more

I've been running from the truth
I have been avoiding facing reality
I've been running since my youth, tired of running
I have been doing this for a long time
I will stand here till you see
I will not give up until you acknowledge
I am you and you are me, tired of running
We are the same and tired of avoiding facing reality
There really is no difference when you look beneath the skin
We are all the same despite our external differences
Someday I know we'll go beyond this world we're living in
We will overcome our current challenges someday
Now when I lay me down to sleep I will be dancing in my dreams
I will have a joyful sleep with happy thoughts
Seeing the way it all should be I will be dancing
I am visualizing a better future
There's no hiding in the dark
We cannot deny the truth
From the beating of my heart it's getting louder
My emotions are becoming stronger
Just as long as we believe
As long as we have faith
The truth will set us free, it's getting louder
We will be free if we acknowledge the truth
All that really matters is the light in your face
What matters is how you feel deep down
In you I see the longing of the whole human race
I see the common struggles we all share
On and on, the story goes
The same struggles continue
Or it's the passing of the torch
New generation takes up the same struggle
With one small voice it all begins
One person can start a change
Then there are millions more, millions more
Others will follow and join a movement
