I Dreamed A Dream

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving

Then I was young, and unafraid
And dreams were made, and used, and wasted
There was no ransom, to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted

But the tigers, come at night
With their voices, soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
And they turn your dream, to shame

And still I dream, he'll come to me
That we will live the years, together
But there are dreams, that cannot be
And there are storms, we cannot weather

I had a dream, my life would be
So different from this hell, I'm living
So different now, from what it seemed
Now life, has killed the dream, I dreamed
