lyrics

When I was a child
I thought I could dream
when I was a child
things were what they seemed
when I was a child
I thought that I could be
anything in the world
that I wanted to be
And lies....
And lies...
holding ... holding me... on the ground

when I was a child
I thought life was fair
when I was a child
God was every where
when I was a child
the american dream
was something to hope
for tomorrow to bring...

And lies... And lies... holding ... holding me ... on the ground

lie to myself
lie to each other
lie to someone
who deserves truth
but who wants the truth
when it hurts so much
better to lie
and pretend all is well
lies... And lies... holding ... holding me ... on the ground

when I was grown up
and thought I could fly
I jumped from the roof
and oh how I tried
but of course you can't fly
if you have had your wings
clipped early on
by lies posing as dreams
And lies... And lies... holding ... holding me ... on the ground
