if i give you mine tonight

lost in the revelry
a lonely voice sighs
counting the promises that
have turned into lies
and in the morning light
an innocent cries
picking up the pieces
of life's greatest prize

and where are the friends we used to know
where is the caring
all of the love, where did it go
where is the sharing

once we could trust each other
like sisters and brothers
and now we hide behind locked doors

if i give you mine tonight
could i ask for yours?

lost in the cacophony
a lonely heart beats
counting the moments passing
as little defeats
living a life alone
a social life dies
we are social beings
is this a surprise?

so where are the friends we used to know
where is the caring `
all of the love, where did it go
where is the sharing

once we could trust each other
like sisters and brothers
and now we hide behind locked doors

if i give you mine tonight
could i ask for yours?

are there still dreamers dreaming the dreams
that created fairy tales?
are there still poets imagining
a love that never fails?
are there still children sharing pretending
without a world of fears?
are there still people living happily ever after
anywhere?

lost in the industry
a lonely hand asks
will anyone hold me today
between all the tasks
and in the dark of night
loneliness on the rise
counting the years passing
wondering why

we share less and less,
and then we die
why oh why oh why
why don't we learn to share more
before we die?
can we learn to share more
before we die?

oh where are the friends we used to know
where is the caring `
all of the love, where did it go
where is the sharing

once we could trust each other
like sisters and brothers
and now we hide behind locked doors

if i give you mine tonight
could i ask for yours?
