Lyrics

[Part I] [Verse 1] As the buildings crumble, tumble to the ground And the dust-filled smoke rises in the air You know that somebody, somewhere, looks with pride They're satisfied [Chorus] To all who think they know To everyone that knows that they're right D'you ever wonder why D'you never ask the question Even in the depths of night? [Verse 2] Now as the daylight fading ends another day For too many life will never be the same And it is all for the reason they will Never understand [Chorus] To all who think they know To everyone that knows that they're right D'you ever wonder why D'you never ask the question Even in the depths of night? [Verse 3] And on the morning after, do you realise? See the ruined faces and the ruined lives Inside your head, do you never have the thought A moment of doubt? [Chorus] To all who think they know To everyone that knows that they're right D'you ever wonder why D'you never ask the question Even in the depths of night? [Part II] [Bridge] There are only dreams One like any other What means the Earth to one or few Means nothing to another There are only dreams like any other [Verse 4] Drawing lines upon the sand, on the land, on the sea Then dying to defend them seems quite meaningless to me Don't you know what means the Earth to some or only one Can mean just nothing, nothing, nothing to another [Chorus] (There are only dreams like any other) There are only differences Worth living but not dying for [Refrain] One man's joy makes another man weep Nothing you can do is ever gonna change it One man's saint is another man's fool (There are only dreams) One man's hot is another man's cool (Like any other) [Verse 5] And when the war is over, won Will there be peace for evermore? Statues carved right out of stone, out of wood, made from gold Praying for their mercy that won't save their souls Don't you know what means the Earth to some or only one Can mean just nothing, nothing, nothing to another [Chorus] (There are only dreams like any other) There are only hopes and beliefs one like any other (There are only dreams like any other) Worth living but not dying for Living but not dying for, not killing for (There are only dreams like any other) Like any other [Bridge] To all of those who think that they know All I can say, yes, all I can say [Refrain] One man's joy makes another man weep Nothing you can do is ever gonna change it One man's saint is another man's fool One man's hot is another man's cool [Outro] (There are only dreams like any other) There are only hopes and beliefs, one like any other (There are only dreams like any other) So let's all reason, now, [?], no, no, no, no So let's all reason, now
