Everyone plays the same game
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
The only judge is yourself

When in love, you open up
You take the risk; you might get harmed
The will of man, not of God

Maybe it's better to hope that we're not on our own
Maybe it's better to fool oneself that one day God will help
Maybe it's better to hope that we're not on our own
Maybe it's better to think that he exists, but he's asleep

Sometimes wanting to end the pain
I felt the child point the way
The comfort that the dreamland gave

I used to have a fragile heart
But now there's a diamond inside
I don't ever pray, but I sometimes scream, I scream

Maybe it's better to hope that we're not on our own
Maybe it's better to fool oneself that one day God will help
Maybe it's better to hope that we're not on our own
Maybe it's better to think that he exists, but he's asleep

When in love, you open up
You take the risk; you might get harmed
The will of man, not of God

Wrap your arms around me, please
Would you rock me back to sleep
There was hope in that dream
