You see them on the corner in the morning 
Barely seem to be awake 
Praying that they won't be late 
You know they're in the office when you're calling 
Head inside a magazine 
Wishing they could live their dream 

[Chorus]
Sleepwalking through your destiny 
Dream talking of how it used to be 
The future's just a memory 
But it's all you got 
Can't stop the clock 
The wall revolves and you can't get out 

One by one the dreams are gone 
Today you're the lonely one 
Free from all you've wished yourself 
Thought you'd left you on the shelf. 
How could this be history? 
When the future seemed to be 
Brighter than the stars above 
Full of hope and full of love. 

Walking through the door with the TV on 
Children running round your feet 
Fast forward to you're asleep 
And every days the same and you don't know why 
You promise that you'll never be 
Everything that you now see 

[Chorus]

One by one the dreams are gone 
Today you're the lonely one 
Free from all you've wished yourself 
Thought you'd left you on the shelf. 
How could this be history? 
When the future seemed to be 
Brighter than the stars above 
Full of hope and full of love. 

So follow your dreams 
No matter how extreme 
Really live your life (yeh) 
Cause your life is in your hands 
Don't take no other plans 
You can do it if you just believe you can. 

[Chorus:Repeat x2]
