Lyrics
we count the stars and pennies too
cause life ain't cheap where those fairy tales come true
we drink the wine from an empty glass
we search for treasures in the little we've amassed
are we alive when we're sleeping
are we alive when we're awake
are we alive when we're dreaming of the world
pick up the cards we raise the stakes
and yet we wonder what difference it makes
the sun goes down we're making love
we live on trust collecting wishes from above
are we alive when we're sleeping
are we alive when we're awake
are we alive when we're dreaming of a different world
are we alive when we're sleeping
are we alive when we're awake
are we alive when we're dreaming of living in a long forgotten world
and can we change the world we're living in reality for all
and brake the habits that we hate but came to love and turn the tide
and stay awake to make our dreams come true
are we alive when we're sleeping
are we alive when we're awake
are we alive when we're dreaming of a better world
are we alive when we're sleeping
are we alive when we're awake
are we alive when we're dreaming of living in a picture perfect world
