| This used to seem so important
|
| Then again, what is there left to say?
|
| I came up with a dream once
|
| And if I had my way
|
| I would never answer
|
| When they tried to wake me up
|
| >From my beautiful reverie
|
| It might be a dream
|
| But it’s my dream
|
| A fantastic disastrous affair
|
| I want to stand forever
|
| 'Till the mountains crumble into the sea
|
| And that’s not as unlikely as it used to be
|
| 'Till the waters rise and we’re swept away
|
| And that could happen almost any day
|
| Yes, I want to stand forever
|
| >From now 'till the thirteenth of never
|
| You can throw me in the hellish river
|
| Of my eternally hopeful endeavor
|
| I want to stand… forever |
